Paul Casey fired a bogey-free 7-under 63 in LIV Golf Hong Kong's opening round to take the early lead. Following the first day's action, he held a two-shot lead over Sebastian Muñoz, Peter Uihlein, Luis Masaveu, Sergio Garcia, Chieh-Po Lee, and Martin Kaymer.

On Friday, March 7, Yubin Jang, Danny Lee, Bryson DeChambeau, Sam Horsfield, Henrik Stenson, and Dean Burmester fired 4-under 66s and were tied for eighth.

LIV Golf's latest recruit, Tom McKibbin, shot a 3-under 67 to finish four strokes back after the first round. He looked all set for the lead at six under with eight holes to play. However, he had a rough finish, making two bogeys and a double bogey over his last six holes before closing with a birdie on the final hole of the day.

Bubba Watson, Thomas Pieters, Joaquin Niemann, Lucas Herbert, Andy Ogletree, Phil Mickelson, Charles Howell III, and Tyrrell Hatton were tied alongside McKibbin after Round 1 of LIV Golf Hong Kong.
