The rowdiest event on the PGA Tour calendar headlines this week in Arizona
The biggest party in golf has arrived as the PGA Tour travels to Scottsdale, Arizona, for the 2024 WM Phoenix Open. Always a tournament to circle on the calendar, the WM Phoenix Open will look to follow up last year's Super Bowl double in the desert despite the lack of signature status attached to its name this season.
This event may no longer be a requirement for the game's top players, but the WM Phoenix Open will once again welcome a stout field to TPC Scottsdale. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler looks to make history in his fifth trip here as the two-time defending champion aims to become the first person since Steve Stricker at the John Deere Classic from 2009-11 to go back-to-back-to-back at a single tournament. Only nine men in PGA Tour history have ever accomplished such as feat with the likes of Tiger Woods, Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus among those on the list.
If Scheffler wants to make that history, he will have to defeat a number of his U.S. Ryder Cup teammates in the process. Scottsdale resident Max Homa headlines the local crowd and will have his eyes on continued success at a course just down the road from his house.
