Players Championship tee times including Rory McIlroy's star-studded group

The Players Championship gets under way on Thursday and features a star-studded field.

Rory McIlroy is the bookies' favourite to prevail at TPC Sawgrass but he will face a stern challenge from the likes of world number one and two, Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler.

And that's who McIlroy will tee up with for Thursday's opening round, with the elite group starting off from the 10th tee at 12.56pm UK time.

One player who won't be there is defending champion Cameron Smith who is unable to compete after joining the Saudi-backed breakaway LIV series.

All of the action will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK. Their coverage is due to begin at 11.30am UK time for the opening two rounds and 2pm over the weekend.

Sky Sports subscribers can also stream the event on the Sky Go app.
