Adrian Meronk played the first round of the LIV Golf Riyadh with 10 birdies and no bogeys. The Pole is looking for his first victory in the league he joined in 2024.

One of the off-season newcomers, Tom McKibbin, had the best possible debut as he carded an eagle and five birdies with no bogeys in the first round of LIV Golf Riyadh. His captain and 2024 individual champion, Jon Rahm, carded six birdies and a bogey to sit in a share of ninth place after 18 holes.
