2024 The Sentry leaderboard: Collin Morikawa looks to avenge last year's disappointing finish in season opener

Morikawa is tied for second and just a shot behind Sahith Theegala, who leads with a 64 after Round 1
It was opening day for the PGA Tour, and the first round of the 2024 PGA Tour season brought plenty of fireworks from the best players Thursday at Kapalua. In the end, there was a bit of a surprise leader but he's closely followed by a handful of major champions, including one who ended 2023 playing some of his best golf in a long time.
It was refreshing to focus on golf for the first time in a while. Following the drama of December when Jon Rahm (who is apparently in Maui this week, although not to play golf) decided to leave the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, all the talk of late has been about when the two entities are going to officially merge. As you can imagine, that gets ... tiring. And it was nice to just watch Viktor Hovland do Viktor Hovland stuff, Scottie Scheffler do Scottie Scheffler stuff and, of course, Jordan Spieth do Jordan Spieth stuff.
It was actually Sahith Theegala who outpaced them all on Thursday, though, as he dropped a 64 on the field that included six consecutive birdies to start his second nine and 10 overall on his day.
