US Open Golf Schedule 2017: Tee Times, Live Stream and TV Coverage Listings

All eyes will be on Dustin Johnson when the U.S. Open gets underway Thursday at Erin Hills in Erin, Wisconsin.

Johnson won the U.S. Open championship a year ago, and he is the top-ranked FedEx Cup player as well as the No. 1 player in the world. The 32-year-old is the favorite to win the tournament (per OddsShark) again this year because of his prodigious power and shot-making skills, and the golfing world wants to see if Johnson can do it again.

There's another reason that the South Carolina native is the central figure in this tournament. In the days leading up to the Masters in April, Johnson was in the same position for that tournament. He was playing well, he had broken through the major barrier and it was clear he had a great shot to win the green jacket.

But instead of a 72-hole coronation, Johnson did not even play. Just a couple of days before the Masters, Johnson took a fall in the home he was renting, and he suffered a back injury that prevented him participating in the tournament.

He didn't have any long-term injuries, and he has put the withdrawal behind him, but now he comes to the second major of the year, and it's time for him to show the golf world that he is a strong enough player to make another big-time run at what has regularly been the most challenging tournament of the year.

Johnson will tee off at 9:35 a.m. ET Thursday along with Jordan Spieth and Martin Kaymer, and that will be one of the featured grounds during the first two days of the tournament.

Spieth also has a U.S. Open Championship to his credit, having won the tournament two years ago when Johnson was unable to hold on to a late lead. Kaymer has not played regularly on the tour this year, but he is a steely player who can reel off a string of birdies when he is hot.

Golf fans may want to start watching at 8:51 a.m., because that's when one of the top groups is teeing off at the Wisconsin course. Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama and Jon Rahm are playing together, and all three of those players have a shot to win. They are all ranked within the top eight of the FedEx Cup, and it would be a surprise if at least one of those players was not near the top of the leaderboard going into the final round.

The pairing of Kevin Kisner, Billy Horschel and Branden Grace may not have the star power of the two just mentioned, but these players have a chance to make a contending run at Erin Hills.

Kisner and Horschel both won on the recently completed Texas swing of the PGA Tour, while Grace has been in the top five of each of the last two U.S. Opens. Those three tee off at 9:24 a.m.

Masters champion Sergio Garcia had the biggest moment of his career when he won the green jacket at the Masters earlier this spring, and he will try to earn the rare Masters-U.S. Open double when he tees off at 2:36 p.m.

The Spaniard will be playing with Bubba Watson and Adam Scott, and this high-profile trio is bound to have a strong following as the players make their way around Erin Hills. Watson has been having a poor year as he ranks 106th in the FedEx Cup rankings, while Scott has slowed a bit after a fast start in 2017.

Jason Day, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy will tee off at 3:09 p.m., and the sun will have had a chance to bake the Erin Hills course by that time. Day won the 2015 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, and returning to this state should bring back excellent memories. That PGA title is the only major title on his resume.

Rose chased Garcia at the Masters and finished second, while McIlroy is trying to battle back from a rib injury that has kept him out of action recently.

Keep your eye on the pairing of Steve Stricker, Stewart Cink and Phil Mickelson, who are scheduled to tee off at 3:20 p.m.

Stricker is a Wisconsin native who is sure to have a huge following as he plays in his home state, while Cink qualified for the tournament for the first time since 2014. Mickelson may or may not play, as he is going to his daughter's graduation, and he won't play if he is not back to the Erin Hills track in time to make his tee off. Roberto Diaz is the first alternate, and he will play if Mickelson has to withdraw.
