Justin Rose and Ben Griffin will open the field on Thursday
The first round of the PGA Tour’s first playoff is at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, and will begin at 8:20 a.m. EDT. Justin Rose and Ben Griffin will be opening the field, and the final pairing is scheduled for 2:15 pm EDT, where Emiliano Grillo and Victor Perez will be teeing off together.
Unlike other events that have three players teeing off with each other in the first two rounds, the St. Jude Championship will have a duo squad teeing off together in the opening round itself. Every group will have ten minutes allotted for their pairing. Here is what the final field looks like for the Thursday round:
