AKRON, Ohio – The final WGC-Bridgestone Invitational will feature a fitting few days of high-profile pairings as the world’s best players assemble at Firestone Country Club.
This week’s World Golf Championship, which will be relocated to Memphis next year and called the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, will be anchored by a foursome of marquee pairings, starting on Thursday with Rory McIlroy and defending champion Hideki Matsuyama teeing off at 10:20 a.m. (ET), and followed in the next group at 10:30 a.m. by Jason Day and Tiger Woods, who qualified at the 11th hour with his tie for sixth place at The Open two weeks ago.
