Tom Hoge leads by one shot after the first round as the 2025 PGA Tour season gets underway at The Sentry in Hawaii.
The American shot a nine-under-par 64 to beat his compatriot Will Zalatoris and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama.
The 35-year-old opened with four birdies on his first five holes, finishing the day with 10 birdies and just one bogey at the sixth.
Matsuyama made birdie-eagle-birdie on the back nine to move up the leaderboard, with Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa and Canadian Corey Conners all two shots further back.
World number two Xander Schauffele, last year’s winner of the Open and the US PGA Championship, is the highest-ranked player in this field and started with a score of 72-under.
The tournament features 31 PGA Tour winners and 29 players who finished in the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings last year.
World number one Scottie Scheffler, winner nine times last season – including the Masters – was ruled out after undergoing surgery to repair a hand injury sustained while preparing Christmas dinner.
