Scheffler took advantage of the first four holes on the back nine to become the first player to reach three under.
The 24-year-old, who was the low amateur at the 2017 U.S. Open, reeled off back-to-back birdies at Nos. 10 and 11 and moved further up into the red with a birdie at No. 13.
After that fantastic start, Scheffler moved back to the pack with a bogey at the 14th hole. Since he was in the first group off the 10th tee, the Dallas native could be the early leader in the clubhouse if he remains under par.
Finau experienced a similar early fate to Scheffler, as he took advantage of his first two holes with a pair of birdies, but he also dropped a stroke on his fourth hole.
The Salt Lake City native's approach at No. 13 found the left green-side bunker and he missed a long par putt to remain at two under.
A handful of other players made an early push into the red numbers, including Berger, Schauffele and Collin Morikawa.
Gary Woodland was only one of the three players in the featured group of 2019 major winners to begin his round with a birdie.
The reigning U.S. Open champion holed a short putt for birdie after leaving a long eagle putt short of the cup.
Woods, Thomas and McIlroy began their round at 11:33 a.m. ET off the 10th tee, which is where the lower scores have been in the first two hours of play.
