The DP World Tour's flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship, takes place at Wentworth in Surrey, England, as many of the best players in the world compete.
Among them are many PGA Tour regulars, including World No.3 Rory McIlroy, who is looking to put the disappointment of losing to a late Rasmus Hojgaard surge at last week's Irish Open behind him.
The four-time Major winner is in one of the strongest groups for the opening two rounds. He's playing alongside 2013 US Open winner Justin Rose and defending champion Ryan Fox. The three begin at 3:45am ET (8:45am BST) in the first round, with a start time of 7:25am ET (12:25pm BST) in the second round.
After victory in the Genesis Scottish Open in July, Robert MacIntyre is looking for his second Rolex Series win of the season. He's grouped with Jesper Svensson and 2022 BMW PGA Championship winner Shane Lowry, with the three teeing it up at 3:55am ET (8:55am BST) on Thursday and 7:35am ET (12:35pm BST) on Friday.

Another high-profile group sees 2022 US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick alongside seven-time DP World Tour winner Tommy Fleetwood and Byeong Hun An, who won at Wentworth in 2015. They begin at 7:25am ET (12:25pm BST) on Thursday and 3:45am ET (8:45am BST) on Friday.
Billy Horschel won the tournament in 2021, and he's grouped with Aaron Rai, who claimed his maiden PGA Tour title at the Wyndham Championship, and three-time DP World Tour winner Nicolai Hojgaard. The three head out at 7:35am ET (12:35pm BST) in the first round and 3:55am ET (8:55am BST) in the second round.
Below is the full list of tee times and groupings for the opening two rounds of the BMW PGA Championship.
