The Open: First Round Tee Times

Home favourite Darren Clarke will hit the opening tee shot of the 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush, with Rory McIlroy among the early starters.

Clarke, who has a house overlooking the Dunluce course, gets play underway at 06:35 on Thursday, just five minutes after Sky Sports go on air with their live coverage.

McIlroy is off at 10:09 with US Open champion Gary Woodland and Paul Casey, while defending Open champion Francesco Molinari is part of a marquee group just in front, which includes Bryson DeChambeau and another former Open champion, Adam Scott.

Tiger Woods headlines the list of late starters, and begins his quest for a 16th major title alongside 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed and Englishman Matt Wallace at 15:10.

World No.1 Brooks Koepka is off at 13:04, and follows the threeball of Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Thomas and Thorbjorn Olesen.

Justin Rose goes out at 14:48, with Dustin Johnson following 11 minutes later.
