Yahoo News Open Championship 2018: Golf groups and tee times for days one and two at Carnoustie
The Open Championship returns to Carnoustie for the eighth time this week as Jordan Spieth looks to defend the title he won at Royal Birkdale last year.
Tiger Woods returns to the Open field for the first time since 2015 as his remarkable recovery from back fusion surgery continues, meanwhile Rory McIlroy – despite having stated that he no longer cared about the Open – will be keen to impress on the biggest of stages after another frustrating year.
The returning Tiger will play alongside Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama and Scotland’s Russell Knox on Thursday and Friday in Scotland, while McIlroy will tee up with Dane Thorbjorn Olesen and New Zealand’s Marc Leishman.
Groups 19 and 20 are not to be missed with defending champion Speith playing alongside Justin Rose and Kiradech Aphibarnrat while exciting Spaniard Jon Rahm will play with Rickie Folwer and Chris Wood.
