The PGA Tour is out west in Las Vegas for a second consecutive week. Last weekend, the Tour played at TPC Summerlin and this week we get a more exclusive event at Shadow Creek Golf Course. A 78-player field featuring many of the best golfers in the world tees off The CJ Cup Thursday morning.
This week’s tournament gets underway at 9:45 a.m. PT. Golf Channel will broadcast all four days, with coverage from 2-5 p.m. PT. PGA TOUR Live will be live streaming featured groups from 9:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT.
The most notable piece of news for this tournament is that Dustin Johnson, the No. 1 golfer in the world, has withdrawn after testing positive for Covid-19. He was favored to win, but now Jon Rahm is the tourney favorite.
The first trio of Talor Gooch, Harry Higgs, and Jaekyeong Lee gets things going on Hole No. 1, while Russell Henley, Joel Dahmen, and Scotti Scheffler get things going on Hole No. 10. The final groups tee off at 11:57 a.m. when Mackenzie Hughes, Kevin Streelman, and Seonghyeon Kim tee off at No. 1 and Adam Hadwin, Harris English, and Mark Hubbard tee off at No. 10.
