USPGA Championship tee times, round 1

First-round USPGA Championship tee times ahead of the final major of the year at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky

Below, check out the first-round USPGA Championship tee times as the world's best players descend on Valhalla Golf Club for the 96th staging of the final major of the year.

As it stands, 98 of the world's top 100 players will be in the field. Dustin Johnson pulled out last week citing personal issues and Tiger Woods remains a major doubt after withdrawing from last week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational during the final round with a back injury.

Rory McIlroy is the clear favourite to win his second USPGA and fourth Major Championship after victories at The Open and Bridgestone.
