Rory McIlroy will tee off as favourite at the PGA Championship on Thursday at Kiawah Island, nine years after lifting the Wanamaker Trophy at the South Carolina course.

The Northern Irishman starts alongside former PGA Championship winners Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas in a headline group, while Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama has been paired with defending champion Collin Morikawa and Bryson DeChambeau.

World number one Dustin Johnson has been grouped with 2019 Open winner Shane Lowry and Sergio Garcia.

Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood will get his search for a first major underway alongside Ryder Cup team-mate Jon Rahm and former Masters winner Patrick Reed.

The PGA Championship will see split tee times over the first two rounds, with half of the field starting at the first hole and the rest beginning at the 10th.
