Scheffler has been absolutely electric all week and is poised to claim his second major of the season—something that would put an exclamation mark on what has already been a dominant year. But standing in his way are elite players like Rory McIlroy, paired with Matt Fitzpatrick at 9:20 a.m. ET. McIlroy, playing in front of a home crowd in Northern Ireland, has said, “I’ve at least half a chance tomorrow,” and fans know what that could mean when Rory gets rolling. Could this be the comeback story we've been waiting for?
Earlier groups include a mix of veterans and up-and-comers. Phil Mickelson tees off at 3:40 a.m. ET with Dean Burmester, and Shane Lowry begins his Sunday run at 4:00 a.m. ET alongside Jacob Skov Olesen. Other big names to watch include Bryson DeChambeau, Viktor Hovland, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, and Jordan Spieth—all scattered throughout the mid-to-late morning tee slots.
TV coverage begins bright and early—USA Network kicks off at 4 a.m. ET, with NBC taking over from 7 a.m. ET. If you prefer to stream, Peacock will have featured group coverage and even a dedicated Par-3 Channel.
Fans are already making predictions and placing bets—will Scheffler hold his nerve? Will McIlroy rise to the moment at home? Or could someone completely off the radar make a final charge? The weather looks favorable, the course is playing fair but tough, and Royal Portrush is ready to test every aspect of a player’s game.
So whether you’re waking up early to catch the action live or checking updates hole-by-hole, this is the kind of Sunday you don’t want to miss. The Claret Jug is within reach—and by the end of the day, a new champion will hoist it high.
