Leading contenders for the 2026 WM Phoenix Open
Scottie Scheffler
Scottie Scheffler returns to the scene of one of his favorite hunting grounds after winning here back-to-back in 2022 and 2023.
The world number one’s precision off the tee and elite ball striking make him the man to beat at TPC Scottsdale, where confidence under pressure and consistent excellence from tee to green define the winning formula.
Xander Schauffele
Xander Schauffele arrives at TPC Scottsdale as one of the most consistent forces on the PGA Tour and again this week for a short price near the top of the market.
In six previous Phoenix starts, he has never missed a cut and owns three consecutive top-10 finishes, including a second and third-place finishes that show how well his all-around game fits on the Stadium Course.
Cameron Young
He has been on a strong trend here with finishes of T26, 64th, T8 and T12 in his first four outings, underscoring his growing comfort in the raw environment of Phoenix and marking him as a prime candidate for a breakthrough.
Hideki Matsuyama
Former champion Hideki Matsuyama is always a name to respect at the WM Phoenix Open, having lifted the trophy in a dramatic play-off in 2016.
His history of competing in Scottsdale, combined with trademark tee-to-green reliability, suggests that any week of partnership with the putter could bring him back into the mix on Sunday.
Trili
A recent run that includes finishes like T11 at the Sony, T6 at The American Express and T2 at the Farmers points to a player brimming with confidence, and his ability to make birdies makes him dangerous if the WM Phoenix Open turns into a low-scoring shootout.
