PGA Championship 2012: tee times announced

The tee times for the first and second rounds of the 94th PGA Championship at Kiawah Island's Ocean Course have been released by the PGA of America.

As per tradition, the winners of the year's three previous majors - Bubba Watson, Webb Simpson and Ernie Els - have been grouped together.

Four-time PGA champion Tiger Woods will play alongside 2010 champion Martin Kaymer and 2011 victor Keegan Bradley for the first two rounds.

Other eye-catching pairings for the first two days include Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Jim Furyk and Phil Mickelson, Davis Love and Padraig Harrington.

Current world number one Luke Donald will start his quest for a maiden major championship at 1.30pm (6.30pm UK time) on Thursday, with Brandt Snedeker and Zach Johnson to keep him company.
