The 2025 Tour Championship teed off Thursday morning, with 30 of the world's best golfers playing East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga. While World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler entered as the heavy favorite , it was Collin Morikawa who came out on fire.

Morikawa signed for a 6-under 64, and he was tied for the lead when he finished his round. (Russell Henley ended up carding a 9-under 61, while Scheffler finished his round with birdies on two of his last three holes for a 7-under 63.)

After the Tour Championship, all eyes in the golf world will turn to Bethpage Black, host venue of the 2025 Ryder Cup. Unlike 2023, Morikawa did not earn an automatic berth onto Team USA.

He is going to have to rely on captain Keegan Bradley to select him with one of his six captain's picks.
