When will Justin Thomas tee off round 1 at the 2024 Valspar Championship? Tee time and pairing explored

Justin Thomas will tee off Round 1 of the 2024 Valspar Championship on Thursday at 8:13 am ET. The 30-year-old will join Sam Burns and Sungjae Im on the 10th tee at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor. The World No.28 golfer will follow the group of Bud Cauley, Sam Ryder and Eric Cole.

Thomas is one of the 18 top 50 OWGR-ranked players on the Valspar Championship field. Unsurprisingly, he is also one of the top favorites to win this weekend. According to SportsLine, the 15x PGA Tour winner comes into the Florida event with 12-1 odds.

Notably, he is only bested by Xander Schauffele (+800) and Sam Burns (+1100) on the odds list. Thomas also topped the Tour’s power rankings for the Valspar Championship.

For the unversed, Thomas has had a mixed start to the 2024 PGA Tour schedule. The star golfer started off the year with a T3 finish at The American Express. He finished T6 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, T12 at the Phoenix Open and at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. However, he failed to make the cuts at the Genesis Open and The Players Championship.

Having crashed out of the competition on Friday last week, Thomas will be eyeing a solid top-three finish this Sunday. Apart from Schauffele and Burns, he will go up against the likes of Jordan Spieth (+1200) and Tony Finau (+2200), among others on Thursday.

It’ll be interesting to see how the 2x Major winner fares in the Valspar Championship.
