2025 WM Phoenix Open Betting - Bet on FedEx Cup

2025 WM Phoenix Open PGA Online Betting

This week’s stop on the PGA Tour has the field in the Arizona desert for the WM Phoenix Open. No longer designated a Signature Event the drop in prize money could keep some of the game’s biggest stars on the sideline. However, that won’t deter fans from coming out in droves. Always one of the best attended tournaments, the WMPO is known for the rowdy gallery surrounding the 16th hole. A temporary grandstand that seats around 20,000 spectators is erected and fans loudly celebrate good tee shots while also heckling players who make bad shots. A majority of players like the deviation from the golfing norm, but there are some who don’t.

A longtime stop on the PGA Tour, the tournament was first played in 1932 and took a brief hiatus a few years later. It was revived in 1939 and played annually since then under different names and at different courses. TPC Scottsdale became the permanent home in 1987. A combination of factors makes this one of the more popular stops on Tour with many of the game’s best players in attendance. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler returned from an injury to post a top 10 last week at Pebble Beach and opened as the prohibitive golf odds favorite to win this event for the third time in four years.

Scheffler won in 2022 and 2023 becoming the seventh player with back-to-back titles. In his two-time title defense Scheffler finished three shots off the pace for a share of third last year. He’s joined in the field by another back to back winner Hideki Matsuyama, who won in a playoff in 2016 and 2017. They are looking to join the short list of players who have captured the WM Phoenix Open a record three times.

You don’t see thousands of fans consuming adult beverages and making lots of noise on the PGA Tour. This is not your typical tournament, though. Aside from the raucous gallery, the WMPO also concludes on Super Bowl Sunday. An overlap shouldn’t be a problem unless we have a playoff, and that’s happened numerous times recently. Taylor won in a playoff last year, the sixth time in the last nine years extra holes were needed to determine a winner.

Scheffler, Matsuyama and Taylor are among the five past winners of this event in the 2025 field. Rickie Fowler won in 2019 after two previous runner-up finishes and Gary Woodland captured the hardware in a playoff in 2018.

Catch all of the action at the WM Phoenix Open from Thursday, February 6 through Sunday, February 9.

WM Phoenix Open Winners (2000)

The list of winners at the WM Phoenix Open features Scheffler, Koepka, Simpson, Fowler, Matsuyama and Mickelson but also includes Vijay Singh, Sandy Lyle, Paul Azinger, Johnny Miller and Arnold Palmer.

Most Career Wins

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.

Best Winning Tournament Scores

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.
