The 2026 Truist Championship begins on Thursday, May 7, with the opening round at Quail Hollow in North Carolina. You can find the full Truist Championship times for Thursday’s first round at the bottom of this post.
Included tee times for round 1
When the Truist Championship came around last year, Cameron Young didn’t win on the PGA Tour and was fighting for position. A lot has changed over the years.
Now, Young is World No. 3 after wins at last year’s Wyndham Championship, this year’s Players Championship and last week’s Cadillac Championship.
The American Ryder Cup has +900 odds to capture its second consecutive Signature Event title… and its second $3.6 billion check in a row. But he is not the betting favourite.
That position belongs to World No. 2 Rory McIlroy, a four-time champion at the Quail Hollow event. McIlroy is making his first start since winning the 2026 Masters in April.
Young will begin his opening round Thursday at 1:20 pm ET with Justin Thomas, who won the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
You can watch Thursday’s first round of the 2026 Truist Championship from 2-6 pm ET on the Golf Channel. PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will offer a special early broadcast beginning Thursday at 7:30 a.m. ET, in addition to the featured group and featured hole.
