2026 WM Phoenix Open Full Field: The ‘Greatest Show on Grass’ Is Back

The NFL’s Super Bowl is this weekend and, by one metric, so is the PGA Tour’s.
No regular-season event packs in fans like the WM Phoenix Open, the self-proclaimed “Greatest Show on Grass.” More than 600,000 come through the gates at TPC Scottsdale every year (the tournament stopped releasing official figures several years ago), with the majority coming on Saturday.
No hole on Tour is crazier than the short par-3 16th, fully enclosed by grandstands full of well-oiled fans waiting to go absolutely bananas for great shots or boo for any that miss the green. Here’s what an ace looks like:
The event annually draws a solid field, even in falling the week before two consecutive signature events at Pebble Beach and the Genesis Invitational. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, already a winner this year at the American Express, returns to the desert to try to win for the third time. He won in 2022 and 2023, Nick Taylor won in 2024 and is the most recent champion in the field with last year’s winner Thomas Detry having left for LIV Golf.
Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun and Ben Griffin are other top-10 players in the field, with Harris English, Sepp Straka, Viktor Hovland, Hideki Matsuyama, Chris Gotterup, Collin Morikawa and Cameron Young giving the tournament 11 of the world’s top 20.
Brooks Koepka is making his second start since returning to the PGA Tour, having finished T56 last week in his return at the Farmers Insurance Open. The 35-year-old is a two-time winner at TPC Scottsdale (2015, 2021) and was added to the field without taking a spot from another PGA Tour member. Two alternates will be added to the field Monday to put the field at 123 players.
