There are tiers the Tour uses to make groupings for tee times. They don't just assign whoever they want together.

There are no hard and fast rules on this and it also only applies to certain pairings. Tournaments/PGA have a lot of control over who gets paired together Thursday/Friday. It’s not a coincidence popular guys are often paired together

Because popular guys are normally in the same category.

How tee times are made on the PGATOUR:
There are essentially 3 categories: Winners category, Regular members, KFT/Exemptions

The Winner’s category (in the last two years, or 5 yrs for a major) which always fall in the middle of the tee times. TV, and/or tournament often specifically request certain players play together.
2nd, top 125 from last yr + veterans category
3rd, KFT grads, Monday Q’s, sponsor exemptions get the last tee times.
Within the categories, it’s mostly random from there.
