Rory McIlroy tee times and pairing: When will the ace golfer tee off at the 2023 BMW PGA Championship?

Rory McIlroy will tee off at the 2023 BMW Championship on Thursday, September 14 at 8:40 a.m. BST. The Northern Irish golfer will pair up with his European Ryder Cup teammates Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland.

McIlroy is looking forward to having a good finish at the DP World Tour tournament. He struggled with his game last week at the Irish Open when he tied for 16th position.

Rory McIlroy was playing well until he injured his back ahead of the Tour Championship last month. However, he is slowly getting back to shape and is the expert's favorite to lift the trophy on Sunday.

The 2023 BMW PGA Championship will start with the first round at 6:45 a.m. BST, with Craig Lee and Angel Hidalgo taking the first shot of the day. They will be followed by Marcus Kinhult, Chase Hanna and Will Besseling, who will be teeing off at 6:55 a.m. BST.

This year's BMW PGA Championship field includes some of the top-ranked golfers in the world. All the European Ryder Cup team members will be playing this week. Tommy Fleetwood will pair up with Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka to start his game at 9:00 a.m. BST.

Jon Rahm, Nicolai Hojgaard and Tyrell Hatton will be starting the game at 12:40 p.m. BST followed by Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick and Robert MacIntyre, who will tee off at 12:50 p.m. BST.
