The PGA Tour heads to Scottsdale, Arizona, this week for the WM Phoenix Open. The most vibrant event of the season features a famously raucous 16th hole known as «The Colosseum,» and a 17th hole filled with layers of strategy. A 132-player field looks to get a piece of the $9.2 million purse, including a winner's share of $1,656,000. Nick Taylor is back to defend his title after outlasting Charley Hoffman in a playoff last year. Taylor finished second at TPC Scottsdale behind Scottie Scheffler in 2023. Scheffler returns after making his 2025 debut last week at Pebble Beach. The world's top-ranked golfer was sidelined all of January while recovering from a right hand injury. Scheffler also won the WM Phoenix Open in 2022.
