Rory McIlroy has been paired with Brooks Koepka for the opening two rounds of the US Open.
The pair will play alongside former Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama in Los Angeles on Thursday and Friday.
Koepka joined LIV Golf last year and claimed his fifth major when winning the PGA Championship last month, overtaking McIlory's major tally of four.

McIlroy clearly has respect for the American, saying before the recent LIV-PGA merger that he believes Koepka should play at the Ryder Cup, while adding that European LIV players should not be allowed to play at the tournament.
But Koepka previously took a swipe at the Co Down man by insisting that he didn't see McIlroy as a rival due to him not having won a major since 2014.
He said in 2019: "I've been out here for, what, five years. Rory hasn't won a major since I've been on the PGA Tour. So I just don't view it as a rivalry. I'm not looking at anybody behind me."
McIlroy will begin his round at 9.54pm Irish time on Thursday, with Shane Lowry, who plays alongside Justin Thomas and Tommy Fleetwood, scheduled to start at 3.40pm.
Meanwhile, Matt McClean and Seamus Power will play together as they commence their rounds at 4.35pm with Ryan Fox.
Padraig Harrington's round begins much later as he plays alongside Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley. Their round commences at 8.59pm.
