The World No.1 is joined by ten others from the world’s top-ranked 20 golfers. World number six Xander Scheffele is looking to bounce back after missing the cut last week for the first time in last 73 starts.

The others from the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking teeing it up in Phoenix are JJ Spaun (7th), Ben Griffin (8th), Harris English (11th), Sepp Straka (12th), Viktor Hovland (14th), Hideki Matsuyama (16th), Chris Gotterup (17th), Collin Morikawa (18th) and Cam Young (20th).

Former LIV golfer Brooks Koepka continues his return to the PGA Tour. But unlike last week, when he finished T56 at Torrey Pines, he is playing a course he has done well on historically. He won this tournament in 2015 and 2021.

Other two-time winners competing are Scottie Scheffler (2022 and 2023) and Hideki Matsuyama (2016 and 2017). The defending champion, Thomas Detry, is not playing as he has joined LIV Golf.

In this guide Golf Monthly brings you all the details on how to watch the Phoenix Open online, on TV, and from anywhere in the world.
