After a lackluster leaderboard at Pebble Beach saw Justin Rose prevail, it’s time to make WM Phoenix Open picks.
Golf fans will be treated to an outstanding field at one of the best tournaments for viewing of the season. The raucous crowd at the famous 16th hole followed by a memorable finishing stretch of holes has turned into a Super Bowl Sunday staple leading up to the big game.
The WMPO is now a “designated event,” which means the best players in the world will be competing for a $20 million prize pool. The field will feature 20 of the top 22 players in the OWGR, including Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Tony Finau, Sungjae Im, Jordan Spieth, Viktor Hovland, Patrick Cantlay, Collin Morikawa, Tom Kim, Hideki Matsuyama, Xander Schauffele, Max Homa, Matt Fitzpatrick, Sam Burns and Cameron Young.
TPC Scottsdale is a par-71 that measures 7,261 yards and features Bermudagrass greens (although they are much more of a blend rather than pure Bermudagrass).
