With less than 48 hours until the start of the 2025 US Open, everything is ready for fans to enjoy the event to the fullest. One of the most relevant details is the broadcast schedule, which includes several featured groups that are a must-watch for every fan.
The USGA and its broadcast partners have announced that six marquee groups will be covered during the first round, three of them corresponding to the morning wave and the other three to the afternoon.
Those starting early include reigning champion Bryson DeChambeau, who will play with two-time major champion Xander Schauffele and reigning US Amateur champion José Luis Ballester, who just made his professional debut last week.
This group is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats from the moment they tee off at 7:28 a.m. (all times according to Eastern Time).
Eleven minutes later, another must-see group will tee off. This group features the newest member of the Career Grand Slam club, Rory McIlroy, as well as major champions Shane Lowry and Justin Rose.
Before those two, another high-level group will tee off, including Ludvig Aberg, Hideki Matsuyama, and Adam Scott. This trio’s tee time is scheduled for 7:17 a.m.
Viewership is sure to soar from 1:24 p.m. and on, when the World No. 1 and top favorite, Scottie Scheffler, tees off. The three-time major champion will be in a group with Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland.
The broadcast will also cover the group of Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, and Min Woo Lee, who have a tee time of 1:02 p.m., as well as the threesome of Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, and Dustin Johnson, that will tee off at 1:24 p.m.
The same groups will be the marquee groups for the second round, but their tee times will be reversed.
