The draw also puts several other major names into clear, fixed slots. At 12:19 on hole one, Padraig Harrington, Miles Russell, and Cameron Smith are listed. At 12:30 on hole one.

US Open 2026 Shinnecock Hills tee times Rory McIlroy Scottie Scheffler Tommy Fleetwood Jon Rahm
Wait so they start on hole 1 and hole 10 at the same time? That seems kinda unfair lol
I’m confused, it says McIlroy at 12:52 on hole 10 but then also like other times for other guys. Are these practice rounds or the actual US Open part?
So Scheffler goes off at 13:25 on hole 1 with JJ Spaun… honestly I’m just looking for when they play on TV. Also who the heck is “James Nicholas” and “Caleb Surratt” never heard of them.
US Open schedule is wild, like 18:47, 19:09, 19:20?? They’re gonna be teeing off at night?? If it’s dark out how is that even safe. Plus I swear this article said Shinnecock “sets the stage” like it’s a movie not golf.
