The latest in the PGA Tour's signature events takes place at Bay Hill. As ever with the lucrative, limited-field tournaments, many of the world's best are in the field, and there are some eye-catching groupings for the opening two rounds.

Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa have six Major wins between them, and they are grouped together for the first two rounds, with the pair getting underway at 1.20pm ET (6.20pm GMT) on Thursday and 10.10am ET (3.10pm GMT) on Friday.

The defending champion is Kurt Kitayama after he claimed an enthralling victory in 2023, and he is in a group with Max Homa, with the two teeing it up at 1.00pm ET (6.00pm GMT) in the opening round, with a 9.50am ET (2.50pm GMT) start in the second round.

Last year's FedEx Cup winner Viktor Hovland is an action too, alongside Rickie Fowler, who will be hoping for a big performance after a slow start to 2024. They begin at 10.20am ET (3.20pm GMT) in round one with a 1.20pm ET (6.20pm GMT) start in round two.

The World No.1 is in the field, too. Scottie Scheffler is in a group with Sam Burns, with the Americans beginning their challenges at 10.10am ET (3.10pm GMT) on Thursday and 1.10pm ET (6.10pm GMT) on Friday.
