When will Justin Thomas tee off at the 2023 Fortinet Championship? Ryder Cup-bound golfer’s tee times and pairings explored 

Justin Thomas will tee off his 2023 Fortinet Championship campaign on Thursday, September 14, at 3:38 p.m. ET. The Ryder Cup-bound golfer will take the late first tee alongside Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala at the Silverado Resort in Napa, California.

Thomas, who has been under fire over his controversial Ryder Cup pick, will be desperate to prove his critics wrong. Coming off the back of a forgettable season, missing the FedEx Cup playoffs cut, the PGA Tour star will be eyeing a strong comeback this weekend.

Interestingly, the 30-year-old is among the favorites to win the Fortinet Championship.

According to SportsLine, Justin Thomas has +1400 odds coming into the weekend. The golfer sits second on the odds list behind two-time defending champion Max Homa.

Thomas will face strong competition from the 32-year-old PGA Tour, who has +700 odds of finishing a Fortinet Championship three-peat at the Silverado.

With the Ryder Cup pressure now over him, it’ll be interesting to see how Justin Thomas finishes on the $8,400,000 Fortinet Championship’s final leaderboard.
