The WM Phoenix Open has been a PGA Tour event since 1932 with a couple sabbaticals over the years. The event has become famous for the raucous environment, especially on the par-3 16th hole nicknamed “The Coliseum.” Often referred to as “The People’s Open,” the event is one of the most popular events on the tour. The field is set to include 10 former major champions.
Thomas Detry became the first Belgian to win on the PGA Tour when won the 2025 WM Phoenix open by seven shots. However, he will not be defending his title this year due to his move to LIV Golf.
