The Chevron Championship is the first major of the year, and also the strongest field of the season so far. Check out the featured groupings here that will be heavily featured in the TV and streaming coverage.
In the morning, we have three Americans who have won their first event in the past year. Megan Khang, Angel Yin and Bailey Tardy will be off at 7:59 local time on the front nine. At the same time on the back, Ayaka Furue and Sei Young Kim, both of whom have played great this year will be playing with Solheim Cup star Linn Grant.
Also on the back nine in the morning, is a trio of notable stars at 8:10. 2019 champion Jin Young Ko will be playing with the 2022 winner Patty Tavatanakit and So Yeon Ryu, who is playing in her final event before retirement.
