2024 Travelers Championship scores, takeaways: Scottie Scheffler, Tony Finau chasing Tom Kim after Round 1

The leaderboard at TPC River Highlands is as electric as it is eclectic

Thursday was a jarring return to PGA Tour golf following that classic U.S. Open at Pinehurst on Sunday evening. But as wild as the swing was back to 62s and 64s, the leaderboard remains stacked after Round 1. Though this is almost always the case at a signature event, this week has provided a particularly interesting top of the board with varying styles of play carrying the day.

Tom Kim leads after a stunning 62 in Round 1, but he may not be the most compelling story. Rickie Fowler and Akshay Bhatia -- who have had wildly differing seasons -- are up near the top, and they're joined by names like Scottie Scheffler, Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele.

Let's take a closer look at Kim's round and what's in store for the next three day as the eighth and final signature event of the year unfolds at TPC River Highlands.
