Koepka, Thomas headline featured groups for the CJ Cup
The PGA Tour is in South Korea this week for the CJ Cup at Nine Bridges. Thanks to a hefty $9.75-million purse, plenty of marquee names made the trip to Jeju Island for leg one of the PGA Tour's Asian swing.
Defending champion Brooks Koepka and the inaugural CJ Cup winner Justin Thomas headline the 78-man field. Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, and Phil Mickelson will also be in attendance, each making their first start in South Korea.
Due to a 13-hour time difference between Jeju Island and the East Coast, golf fans will be treated to late-night viewing with the first two rounds starting at 7:00 p.m. ET.
Here are the featured groups' tee times for Round 1 and 2 (all times ET):
