US PGA Championship: Tiger Woods grouped with Brooks Koepka and Francesco Molinari

Woods has won the PGA Championship four times, the most recent of which was in 2007

Masters winner Tiger Woods will open his US PGA Championship campaign on Thursday alongside defending champion Brooks Koepka and Open champion Francesco Molinari.

The trio will play together in the first two rounds of the second major of the year at Bethpage Black in New York.

Woods, 43, won at Augusta in April to end an 11-year wait for a 15th major.

World number one Dustin Johnson will play alongside Spain’s Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth.

England’s world number two Justin Rose is in a threeball with Americans Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler, while four-time major winner Rory McIlroy plays with 2005 champion Phil Mickelson and 2015 winner Jason Day.

This is the first year that the US PGA has been moved from August to May.
