How to watch CJ Cup Byron Nelson on Friday

At this point in his PGA Tour comeback, Brooks Koepka is still fighting to gain access to the PGA Tour’s biggest events. But if Thursday’s opening round at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson is a sign of things to come, he won’t be fighting much longer.

The five-time major champion got off to a strong start in Round 1 and never let up. By day’s end, Koepka had recorded six birdies, an eagle and zero bogeys for a 63.

That left him tied for second with Jesper Svensson. Taylor Moore is the only player above Koepka on the leaderboard as we head into Friday’s second round. Moore shot a 62 to lead by one.

Scottie Scheffler fired a five-under 66 to get into contention early as well.

The second round of the 2026 Players Championship begins Friday, March 13, at TPC Sawgrass’ Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. You can find full Players Championship tee times for Friday’s second round at the bottom of this article.

Featured tee time for Round 2

Two-time PGA champion Justin Thomas is showing some signs of life at the Players Championship.

Thomas missed the first part of the 2026 PGA Tour season while recovering from back surgery. His first start back at last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational did not go well. He shot back-to-back 79s to miss the cut by a wide margin.

You’d think that treacherous TPC Sawgrass would present an even bigger problem for Thomas as he works to re-find his form. But based on his early play, you’d be wrong.

Thomas shot out of the gates Thursday morning, making birdies on his first three holes to quickly move to three under. That put him ahead of playing partner Scottie Scheffler in the early going. The hot start should also set him up nicely for Friday’s second round.

JT started on the 10th tee for the first round, so on Friday he’ll switch to a 1st-tee start and an afternoon tee time. Thomas will tee off for Round 2 on Friday at 1:42 p.m. ET alongside Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood.

You can watch Friday’s second round of the 2026 Players Championship from 1-7 p.m. ET on Golf Channel. PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will provide exclusive early streaming coverage starting at 7:30 a.m. ET on Friday, in addition to featured group and featured hole coverage.
