Austin Round 1 tee times: What to know
Blades Brown shocked the world of golf with his girlfriend PGA Tour win last week, making him the youngest winner of the Tour in modern history. But before Brown’s historic feat, another promising pro had taken the crown as the first rookie.
That player is Jackson Koivun. Koivun has been at the top of the leaderboards since turning pro this summer. And he beat Brown to the winner’s circle, taking home the 3M Open title earlier this season.
The race for win No. 2 continues Thursday in Austin.
Koivun departs for Round 1 at 1:13 pm ET alongside Austin Smotherman and Tommy Morrison.
You can watch Thursday’s first round of the 2026 Austin Championship from 2-5 pm ET on Golf Channel. Simulcasts of the TV coverage can be seen on Golfchannel.com and the Golf Channel app.
