Masters champion Rory McIlroy will play the opening two rounds of this week’s US Open alongside European Ryder Cup team-mates Justin Rose and Shane Lowry.
The trio will start round one from the 10th hole at 12:40 BST on Thursday, 12 June and then tackle the Oakmont Country Club course from hole one in Friday’s second round from 18:25.
McIlroy, who ended his major drought by beating Englishman Rose in a play-off to complete the career Grand Slam at Augusta National in April, won his solitary US Open in 2011. Rose claimed his only major title at the 2013 US Open.
World number one Scottie Scheffler is on the opposite side of the draw. He will tee off in Thursday’s opening round at 18:25 from the first hole, and 12:40 from the 10th on Friday.
The US PGA Championship winner is alongside fellow American Collin Morikawa and Norway’s Viktor Hovland.
Last year’s winner Bryson DeChambeau is out with reigning Open champion Xander Schauffele at 12:29 from the first on Thursday, while 2022 US Open victor Matt Fitzpatrick is in the following group at 12:40.
