Who is leading the 2023 LIV Golf Greenbrier after Round 1? Day 1 leaderboard explored

Matthew Wolff is the surprise leader of the 2023 LIV Golf Greenbrier after the first round. Wolff came from being the center of controversy in the previous event of the circuit, but on this day, he had a very good performance.

The American golfer played with only one bogey, as well as eight birdies and an eagle. He also had two great streaks, one of three birdies in a row and another of birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie. He closed the day with a 9-under 61.

Matthew Wolff was in the news a month ago due to some statements made by Brooks Koepka, captain of the Smach GC team (to which Wolff belongs). In those statements, Koepka expressed dissatisfaction with Wolff's conduct and said he had "given up on him." At the time, Wolff expressed his dissatisfaction with his captain's statements.

This excellent first round comes after he had only two top 10 finishes in nine events this season.

The second place of the LIV Golf Greenbrier is occupied by David Puig and Harold Varner III. The Spaniard committed only one bogey, while the American finished his round bogey-free.

Season leader in the individual standings, Talor Gooch, finished the first day of the LIV Golf Greenbrier well, in T6, four strokes behind Wolff.

The LIV Golf Greenbrier team competition after day one is led by Sash GC, thanks to an excellent performance by Matt Wolff, who was seconded by Jason Kokrak (T6) and Brooks Koepka (T14).
