Scottie Scheffler, the number one golfer in the world, is the two-time defending champion of the WM Phoenix Open and is considered the favorite to win again this year. Scheffler looks to be back on top of his game after missing the start of the 2025 season with an injury.

Justin Thomas is one of the favorites this weekend. JT has been playing well and this venue is one of his favorites as he excels at the Scottsdale TPC stadium course.

Hideki Matsuyama is another player who is striking the ball extremely well and who has had success at the WM Phoenix Open in the past. Other fan favorites to watch are Jordan Spieth, Robert MacIntyre and Seep Straka, who has got off to lighting fast start in 2025.

This year, competitors will be battling for a piece of the $9.2 million purse, with the winner receiving $1,656,000.

Aside from the financial rewards, this week’s tournament winner will receive 500 FedEx Cup points, which could be crucial in the race to qualify for the playoffs later in the year.

Typically, the prize money payout in PGA Tour events is based on the participation of exactly 65 players who make the cut and complete the tournament. However, in events where the cut is standard to the top 65 players and ties, the payout formula is adjusted to include the exact number of players who make the cut, often leading to the addition of extra money to the stated purse to account for the additional players.
