The WM Phoenix Open Pro-Am tees off on Wednesday morning and the tee times have been released, along with the pairings.

Former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will tee off at 8:30 a.m. on the first hole, with his group including Justin Thomas. Thirty minutes later in that slot is Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps. At 9:20 a.m., Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff will start his morning of golf on that first tee box, while former Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson gets his first swing off 10 minutes later.

Actor Josh Duhamel has a 10 a.m. start on those first tees and former NFL running back Reggie Bush is at 10:20 a.m.

The kickoff slot on the ninth hole at 8:30 a.m. has a group featuring former Cardinals running back and Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith. Cy Young winner C.C. Sabathia gets going at 9 a.m., and perhaps the headliner of the whole tournament begins 30 minutes later: Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He will play nine holes with Jon Rahm, the betting favorite for the real deal that starts on Thursday.

A full list of the tee times and pairings can be found on the WM Phoenix Open’s website.
