Viewing options for the 2026 Waste Management Phoenix Open on ESPN
Scottie Scheffler achieved his inaugural PGA Tour victory at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2022. Nearly four years later, the three-time reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year returns to lead the field in Scottsdale, Arizona, for the 39th installment of “The People’s Open.”
This year, Scheffler will compete alongside two-time WM Phoenix Open champion Brooks Koepka for the first time. Both players aim to claim the vacant title at TPC Scottsdale, as 2025 Phoenix Open champion Thomas Detry has joined LIV Golf this season and will not participate. Detry made history as the first Belgian golfer to win on the PGA Tour, finishing last season’s tournament with a final-round score of 6-under 65, winning by seven strokes.
A total purse of $9.6 million is available this week, with over $1.7 million designated for the champion.
