The PGA Tour heads to Michigan for the Rocket Mortgage Classic, where Rickie Fowler ended a long drought to claim his sixth title last year.
That was the culmination of an impressive resurgence following a period of struggling for his best form. This year, he has again found it tough going at times, and he is yet to record a top 10 in 2024, but he'll be hopeful a return to Detroit Golf Club will help rectify that.
He's grouped with former World No.7 Will Zalatoris and 2021 winner Cam Davis. The three begin at 1.05pm EST (6.05pm BST) in the first round, with a start time of 7.40am EST (12.40pm BST) in the second round.
Akshay Bhatia heads to the tournament on the back of a T5 at the Travelers Championship, and he's grouped with Stephen Jaeger and Min Woo Lee, with a start time of 12.43pm EST (5.43pm BST) on Thursday and 7.18am EST (12.18pm BST) on Friday.
The highest-ranked player in the field in World No.16 Tom Kim. He fared even better than Bhatia at TPC River Highlands, losing to Scottie Scheffler in a dramatic playoff. Can he go one better this week? He'll play alongside Robert MacIntyre and Cameron Young in the first two rounds. The three get underway at 7.40am EST (12.40pm BST) on Thursday and 1.05pm EST (6.05pm BST) on Friday.
