PGA Championship tee times for Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington

There are three Irish in action at this week's PGA Championship with the tournament getting underway on Thursday.

Three Irish golfers will tee it up at this week's PGA Championship in Valhalla with Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, and Padraig Harrington all in action.

McIlroy is one of the hot favourites for the event, trailing just behind Scottie Scheffler in the bookmaker odds. The Northern Irishman recently captured back-to-back PGA Tour victories in the Zurich Classic and Wells Fargo Championship.

And the world number two's last major came at Valhalla in 2014 but has had a 10-year major drought since then. McIlroy will tee it up alongside Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose for the opening two days and kicks off his tournament at 1.15 pm tomorrow.

Shane Lowry is hoping for an uptick in form when he tees it up this week as he goes searching for his second major. The Offaly man teamed up with McIlroy in the Zurich Classic recently as he scooped up a PGA Tour victory and is looks to win his second major.

Lowry will play alongside Jason Day and Ryder Cup teammate Nicolai Hojgaard and they tee off at 6.24 pm on Thursday.

Padraig Harrington won the PGA Championship back in 2008 and is back as a past champion. The Dubliner admits his chance to compete is coming to an end but will be looking for one more big week at a major. He plays alongside Patrick Reed and Sam Burns and tees off at 7.35 pm on Thursday.
