2026 WM Phoenix Open: Prize Money Breakdown for Every Golfer

Two prominent figures in professional golf, Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka, are set to compete in the upcoming 2026 WM Phoenix Open. This prestigious event will take place at TPC Scottsdale in Arizona, featuring a total prize pool of $9.6 million. The winner of this tournament will receive a substantial $1.728 million.

Field Overview

The tournament will host a competitive field of 123 players, including four top-10 ranked golfers. Scottie Scheffler holds the title of World No. 1 and recently triumphed at The American Express. This victory marked his first event of the season and his 20th career win on the PGA Tour, solidifying his status with a lifetime exemption.

Brooks Koepka’s Return

Brooks Koepka has recently returned from LIV Golf after the PGA Tour implemented a program allowing his reintegration. Although he made the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open, he faced difficulties during the weekend, ultimately finishing in 56th place.

Notable Participants

In addition to Scheffler and Koepka, other notable players in the tournament include:

• Xander Schauffele (Ranked 6th)
• J.J. Spaun (Ranked 7th)
• Ben Griffin (Ranked 8th)

Additionally, Joel Dahmen and Sahith Theegala received sponsor exemptions for this event. Dahmen, known for his unique requests, once wrote a note on a shirt to obtain his exemption, reminiscent of a memorable celebration from previous tournaments.

Defending Champion Absence

The defending champion, Thomas Detry from Belgium, will not be participating this year, having switched to LIV Golf. His absence opens up opportunities for new champions to emerge in 2026.
