When will Jon Rahm tee off at the 2023 BMW PGA Championship? Golfer’s tee times and pairing explored

Jon Rahm is currently at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England for the ongoing 2023 BMW PGA Championship. He is paired with Tyrrell Hatton and Nicolai Hojgaard for the first round and is scheduled to tee off at 7:40 a.m. ET.

Rahm will be playing his first entirely DP World Tour-sanctioned event of the year. As said in one of his press conferences, he wanted to win the tournament for the first time in his career and make a strong contention in the Race to Dubai rankings.

He is nearly 2,400 points behind the leader Rory McIlroy at present.

Who are the notable golfers to watch out for, except Jon Rahm, at the 2023 BMW PGA Championship?

The premier event of the DP World Tour features all 12 European Ryder Cup members, including the captain Luke Donald. While Rory McIlroy is returning for a second consecutive week on the Tour, reigning Masters Champion Jon Rahm will look to make his appearance felt on the golf course after last month's Tour Championship.

McIlroy is paired with the newly crowned FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland and the European Masters champion Ludvig Aberg for the first round of the 2023 BMW PGA Championship. All of them are part of the European team for the upcoming biennial event in Rome. They are scheduled to start their play at 3:40 a.m. ET.

Defending champion Shane Lowry will also be seen in action at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England. He is paired alongside fellow Ryder Cup teammates Tommy Fleetwood and Sepp Straka and will tee off at 4:00 a.m. ET in the 2023 BMW PGA Championship.

The European captain Luke Donald is paired with Edoardo Molinari and Francesco Molinari for the first round of the 2023 BMW PGA Championship. The group is scheduled to tee off at 4:30 a.m. ET.
