World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, fresh off his 20th PGA Tour win at the American Express, opens his 2026 season aiming for a third Phoenix Open title at TPC Scottsdale. The 29-year-old, a two-time defending champion, seeks his first 2026 victory on a course known for its challenging finish and energetic crowds.
