When will Viktor Hovland tee off round 1 at The Players Championship 2024? Golfer’s tee time explored

Viktor Hovland will tee off Round 1 of The Players Championship 2024 on Thursday at 8:24 AM. The Norwegian golfer will join ace golfers Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth on the 10th tee at TPC Sawgrass, Florida. One of the fan favorites at the event, the World No.4 golfer will follow the grouping of Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Burns.

It is pertinent to note that Hovland is the third highest-ranked player on The Players Championship 2024 field after Scottie Scheffler and McIlroy. Unsurprisingly, he is also among the top five favorites for the event. According to SportsLine, the 2023 FedEx Cup champion comes into the Florida weekend with +2200 odds.

The 26-year-old golfer sits behind Scheffler (+500), Rory McIlroy (+1200), Xander Schauffele (+2000) and Justin Thomas (+2000) on The Players Championship odds list. Hovland will tee off alongside 45 of the top 50 OWGR-ranked players this weekend.

For the unversed, Viktor Hovland has had a bumpy start to the 2024 season. The 6x PGA Tour winner started the year with a T22 finish at The Sentry. He followed it up with a forgettable T58 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and a T19 finish at The Genesis Open.

Coming off the back of a T36 finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, the star golfer will be eyeing a strong finish at The Players Championship.
