Who will impress at The 152nd Open? Watch extended coverage throughout the week live on Sky Sports Golf

Groupings and tee times for the opening round of The 152nd Open at Royal Troon, where Tiger Woods is among the later starters on his return to action.

Woods faces a late-early draw on his first appearance since a missed cut at the US Open, grouped alongside compatriots Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, while Rory McIlroy is on the other side of the draw as he goes out with Tyrrell Hatton and Max Homa.

Former Champion Golfer Justin Leonard will hit the opening tee shot at 6.35am on Thursday, with the 1997 winner at Royal Troon alongside Todd Hamilton - who lifted the Claret Jug at the same venue in 2004 - and Scotland's Jack McDonald.
