2025 LIV Golf UK: Round 1 tee times and pairings explored

The next LIV Golf event is the LIV Golf UK after the completion of the Andalucía event in July, where Taylor Gooch won the tournament with 8 under. The LIV Golf UK will take place at the JCB Golf & Country Club, Great Britain from July 25 to 27.

All the golfers in the event will tee off at 1:05 pm BST, and the group to start on the first hole is Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, and Tyrrell Hatton. On the same hole, Taylor Gooch, defending champion Jon Rahm, and Henrik Stenson will start at 1:16 pm.

Last year, after winning the event, Spaniard Jon Rahm shared his playing experience. He said:

“First of all, I've got to give Tyrrell a lot of credit, too. He's a fantastic player, and you never want to see it end like that. I almost wish we would have gotten it done in the playoff. But it's just emotional. It hasn't been the easiest year for our family. Kelley and I have gone through quite a bit, and she has gone through even more, being on bedrest, among many other things.”

Brooks Koepka, Lucas Herbert, and Sebastian Munoz will play on the 17th hole. Ian Poulter, Sam Horsfield, and Lee Westwood are paired together to start at hole 16.

The total prize purse for 2025 LIV Golf UK is $25 million, out of which $20 million is allocated for individual shares and 5 million is for the team share.
