Scottie Scheffler will tee off at 7:20 a.m. local time (2:20 a.m. ET) on Thursday in Round 1 of the 2024 British Open at Royal Troon. The world No. 1 golfer is paired with Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood in a marquee grouping.

When does Scheffler play?

Scheffler's first-round tee time is 7:20 a.m. BST (2:20 a.m. ET) on July 18, 2024. He'll play alongside Spieth and Fleetwood, two of golf's biggest stars. The trio will tee off from the 1st hole at Royal Troon.

Why this matters for Scheffler

This is Scheffler's chance to win his first British Open title. He's won two majors this year, but the Claret Jug remains elusive. Playing with Spieth, a former Open champion, could provide valuable insight.

What comes next?

After Round 1, Scheffler will look to build momentum. The cut comes after 36 holes, so he'll need a strong start. Fans can watch his progress on the leaderboard as he chases history.

Scheffler enters the Open as one of the favorites. His consistent play this season makes him a threat to win at Royal Troon. The 2024 British Open runs from July 18-21.
