AKRON, Ohio (Reuters) - Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth will play with British Open winner Zach Johnson and top-ranked Rory McIlroy in the first two rounds of next week's PGA Championship, organizers announced on Friday.

Spieth and company are set to start on the first tee at 2.20 p.m. ET (1820 GMT) in Thursday's opening round at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin.

Traditionally, the winners of the season's first three majors have always been drawn together.
