History was made on Thursday at the PGA Championship, and Scottie Scheffler was right in the middle of it. The world No. 1 fired a crisp 4-under 67, but he's not alone at the top—far from it. Scheffler is part of a seven-way tie for the lead, the largest logjam after the first round of a major championship since 1969.

That's 57 years of major golf history, and we've never seen a leaderboard this crowded after 18 holes. The last time a major saw a seven-player tie at the top was the 1969 PGA Championship, when the likes of Raymond Floyd and Gary Player were in the mix. Now, Scheffler joins an elite—and unusually large—group.

For fans of the game, this is a dream start. The depth of talent at the top means we're in for a weekend of high drama. Scheffler, known for his calm demeanor and powerful iron play, will need to bring his A-game to separate himself from the pack. But if Thursday was any indication, this PGA Championship is shaping up to be one for the ages—where every shot matters, and the leaderboard is anyone's game.
