2023 Tour Championship start times: Round 1 pairings on Thursday

The 2023 Tour Championship begins Thursday with round one at East Lake in Atlanta, Georgia. Full tee times for the first round of the Tour Championship are at the bottom of this post.

Recommended pairing for Round 1

Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland are the two names leading the FedEx Cup standings with one event remaining, meaning they will retain Thursday afternoon’s final pairing. Can Hovland stay hot and win this week? Can Scheffler capitalize on his staggered start lead after failing to do so last year? We’ll find out soon.
