Defending champion McIlroy and Lowry learn groupings for Players Championship
RORY MCILROY, SHANE Lowry and Seamus Power have discovered their respective groupings and tee times for The Players Championship this weekend.
Defending champion McIlroy has been grouped with Xander Schauffele and Hideki Matsuyama for the first two rounds at TPC Sawgrass. They are due tee off at 6.42pm Irish time on Thursday, and 1.52pm on Friday.
McIlroy is still dealing with a “stubborn” back problem ahead of his title defence, having pulled out of the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week. He also won The Players in 2019.
Lowry will play alongside JJ Spaun and Sepp Straka; the trio getting their tournaments underway at 6.18pm Irish time on Thursday and returning at 1.28pm on Friday.
Power, meanwhile, has been grouped with Patton Kizzire and Johnny Keefer, and tees off at 1.28pm Irish time on Thursday.
World number one Scottie Scheffler will be joined by FedExCup winner Tommy Fleetwood and past champion Justin Thomas.
