Northern Trust: round one groups and uk tee times

The first stop of the FedEx Cup Playoffs begins this week as the PGA Tour heads to Liberty National in New Jersey for the Northern Trust. The tournament used to be known as the Barclays and it returns to Liberty National where it previously hosted the event in 2009 and 2013, and it also hosted the 2017 Presidents Cup.

In 2009, Liberty National received high criticism from many of the top players in the world and significant improvements were made to the course.

Tiger Woods said that the changes had improved the course, who first played the course in 2009 where he finished T2 and then repeated that finish in 2013, when he famously dropped to his knees due to the pain in his back.

On Thursday, Woods is set to play with Scott Piercy and recent first-time PGA Tour winner J.T Poston, while there are also some extremely exciting groups set to tee it up on Thursday, including another battle between Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka, who are joined in their group by Matt Kuchar.
