It’s not a major, but the field at World Golf Championship events tend to resemble them.
And the Bridgestone Invitational is no different.
Highlighted by Masters and U.S. Open winner Jordan Spieth, British Open winner Zach Johnson, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Adam Scott and Justin Rose, the event from Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, is going to be must-see golf.
The tournament begins Thursday from the South course.
Spieth, the favorite at +500, tees off with Zach Johnson at 2:15 p.m. Eastern at Hole 1. Rose and Phil Mickelson follow them at 2:25.
From Hole 10 at 10:25 a.m. is Day and Rickie Fowler and 10 minutes later Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson tee off. All the pairings and times can be seen below, as can the odds.
The first two rounds can be seen on the Golf Channel.
