2026 WM Phoenix Open Betting Online
Once we hit the end of the spring, none of the golfers are going to want to be in the desert heat in Scottsdale. But in early February, it's a fantastic time of year to be in Arizona, and the WM Phoenix Open is considered to be a great early-season tournament. The event had previously been known as the Waste Management Phoenix Open but perhaps WM is easier to market for the media. The 2026 WM Phoenix Open did not make the cut in terms of a Signature Event with a $20 million dollar prize purse, so players will have to accept the $9.4 million dollar purse. The field is usually a good one, as players enjoy playing TPC Scottsdale, but it will be interesting to see how many top players bypass this event because of past incidents with unruly fans.
Catch all of the action at the WM Phoenix Open from Thursday, February 5 through Sunday, February 8.

You'd think that a tournament with this type of history would have someone win it more than three times in a career. Arnold Palmer had the greatest run in the history of the WM Phoenix Open, winning it three straight years from 1961 through 1963, making him a rare back-to-back winner. Phil Mickelson is the most recently to pull off the trio of wins at the WM Phoenix Open. He captured the crown in 1996 for one of the first victories of his career, and most recently, he was the winner in 2013. Mark Calcavecchia and Gene Littler are also three-time winners of the event. A total of 15 different men have won the WM Phoenix Open twice.

Though it really looks like the scores have been historically low at the WM Phoenix Open; that really isn't the case. Most of the winning scores have been in the mid-teens. That said, every now and again, someone has come up with a fantastic individual effort to really put away a big-time tournament here in Scottsdale, the most recently of which was when Phil Mickelson fired a -28 and beat the field by four strokes in 2013 for his third championship at the WM Phoenix Open.
The only other time someone shot anywhere near that low was in 2001 when Mark Calcavecchia went off for -28 as well, and he won by eight shots. The biggest margin of victory in the history of the WM Phoenix Open was an insane 14 strokes, a mark which Johnny Miller won by in his second of back-to-back titles in 1975 with his -24 effort.

Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
