Less than 24 hours after capturing his maiden PGA Tour victory at the Wyndham Championship, J.T. Poston found out Monday afternoon that he’ll play the first two rounds of The Northern Trust alongside Tiger Woods.
Poston, Woods and Scott Piercy are grouped together for the first two rounds at Liberty National, which host the Tour’s first FedExCup playoff event. The trio will tee off No. 10 tee Thursday at 7:43 a.m. ET and No. 1 tee Friday at 12:33 p.m.
Woods enters the playoffs at No. 28 in the FedExCup standings. He’s already committed to next week’s BMW Championship, though he’ll have to remain inside the top 30 in order to defend his title at the Tour Championship.
This year’s Masters champ hasn’t played three straight weeks since last year’s playoffs and has only teed it up four times since winning at Augusta National in April.
Other notable groupings include Nos. 1-3 in FedExCup points – Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy and Matt Kuchar. Dustin Johnson, Webb Simpson and Jon Rahm are grouped together, as are Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau and Tommy Fleetwood. Matthew Wolff and Jordan Spieth will play alongside Kevin Streelman, and Rickie Fowler and Justin Rose are grouped with Marc Leishman.
