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 $9.6 million dollar purse. The field is usually a good one, as players enjoy playing TPC Scottsdale and the 2026 WM Phoenix Open will have World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlining the field and Scheffler won this event in 2022 and 2023. Scheffler is far and away the best player in the world and his PGA odds indicate as much, as he is listed as a +220 favorite. The next three players are listed at +2200. Scheffler is now getting the Tiger Woods treatment in terms of golf betting odds, as Tiger was a hefty favorite in his glory days.
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.
