It will be an early morning for players and viewers alike at the 2023 Open Championship beginning Thursday in Hoylake, England. The 151st Open is set to begin with local lad Matthew Jordan striking the first tee shot at 1:35 a.m. ET with tee times from Royal Liverpool stretching to nearly noon.
Jordan Spieth is one of the first notables to take on Royal Liverpool; he will do so at 4:03 a.m. alongside Matt Fitzpatrick and Jason Day. Each player will be looking for some form after a blossoming spring saw both the Englishman and Australian claim victories on the PGA Tour.
Roughly a half hour later, many championship contenders will begin their first rounds with Patrick Cantlay, Brooks Koepka and Hideki Matsuyama teeing off at 4:36 a.m. They will be followed closely by the trio of Scottie Scheffler, Tommy Fleetwood and Adam Scott at 4:47 a.m. Reigning Champion Golfer of the Year Cameron Smith, Xander Schauffele and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark will be on deck at 4:58 a.m.
The afternoon hours will be littered with superstars traversing through the par 71. Viktor Hovland, Tony Finau and Justin Thomas begin their first rounds at 9:48 a.m. as the trio kicks off the start of three marquee groupings. World No. 2 and 2014 Open champion Rory McIlroy is paired with his European Ryder Cup teammates Justin Rose and Masters champion Jon Rahm at 9:59 a.m. Two years removed from raising his Claret Jug, Collin Morikawa will follow this threesome next to his fellow Cal Golden Bear Max Homa and the fiery Englishman Tyrrell Hatton at 10:10 a.m.
