World No.1, Scottie Scheffler and World No.2, Rory McIlroy have been paired together through the first couple of rounds of the BMW Championship.
The leading duo – who have nine Majors between them after clinching three of the four in 2025 – will go off at 11:16am ET (4:16pm BST) on Thursday before beginning at 1:38pm ET (6:38pm BST) in Friday’s second round.
McIlroy is returning to the PGA Tour for the first time since The Open as a result of opting to skip the FedEx St Jude Championship last week – something he said he would do given his packed international schedule until the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Scheffler is fresh off a T3rd at TPC Southwind which only served to strengthen his already vice-like grip on the number one spot in the FedEx Cup rankings.
Scheffler and McIlroy’s grouping is not the only Ryder Cup-themed tee time through the first two rounds, though, with Justin Rose and JJ Spaun having been put together on Thursday and Friday.

Rose defeated Spaun in a tense playoff in last week’s FedEx Cup Playoffs first round – a result which ensured both players were locks for next month’s team clash at Bethpage Black.
They will be reacquainted at 1:38pm ET on Thursday before doing it all again during round two, starting at 11:05am ET (4:05pm BST).
A handful of the other standout pairings include Cameron Young and Ludvig Aberg, Keegan Bradley and Maverick McNealy as well as Justin Thomas playing alongside Tommy Fleetwood.
Due to Sepp Straka withdrawing from the event in the build-up, JT Poston will play on his own through the first two rounds.
