Since “the video” went viral, it’s been what golf fans have anxiously wanted to know: When will Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau be paired together again in a tournament?

For those hoping the answer might be the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines—the rivals have combined to win the championship three of the last four years—well, we’ve got bad news. While the USGA has a history of getting creative with its opening-round threesomes, tradition outweighed bedlam. As the defending champion, DeChambeau can be found in the usual pairing with the reigning winner of the U.S. Amateur (Tyler Strafaci), and joined this year by the Masters winner (Hideki Matsuyama); the trio will go off at 4:14 p.m. EDT on Thursday.

That said, the USGA did put together some entertaining pairings for the opening rounds on the South Course. Koepka will play alongside Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas. The trio tee off on Thursday at 10:29 a.m. Eastern. PGA Championship winner and local favorite Phil Mickelson will be joined by another San Diego native, Xander Schauffele, and Max Homa, who grew up outside Los Angeles. They have a 10:51 a.m. Eastern tee time on Thusday.

Below are the complete pairings for the first and second round, with players competing in threesomes off the first and 10th tee.
