2026 WM Phoenix Open odds, picks: Surprising predictions by golf model that’s called 16 majors
One of the top events on the PGA Tour tees off on Thursday as the 2026 WM Phoenix Open unfolds at TPC Scottsdale (Stadium Course). Known for its raucous crowds, the WM Phoenix Open usually draws a great field, and this year is no exception. Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Hideki Matsuyama are among the players teeing it up. They’ll be joined by Brooks Koepka, who is playing his second event since rejoining the PGA Tour last week at the Farmers Insurance Open. The first tee times come at 9:20 a.m. ET on Thursday.
The latest 2026 WM Phoenix Open odds list Scheffler as the +220 favorite (risk $100 to win $220), followed by Schauffele at +1900. Hideki Matsuyama and Cameron Young are both +2200. Other past major winners in the field include J.J. Spaun (+3300), Koepka (+3300), Collin Morikawa (+4000), Matt Fitzpatrick (+4000) and Jordan Spieth (+5000).

2026 WM Phoenix Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the WM Phoenix Open 2026: Si Woo Kim, who is one of the favorites, stumbles and falls outside the top 5. He’s a golfer to fade this week. The 30-year-old is off to a fast start this season, finishing T11 at the Sony Open, T6 at The American Express and T2 at the Farmers Insurance Open. This event has been a real struggle for him, however, as he’s missed three of thee past five WM Phoenix Open cuts and hasn’t finished better than 50th since 2022. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: The model is extremely high on Ben Griffin this week. He has only played this event twice, but he made the cut both times and finished 36th last year and 28th in 2024. Both times he shot above 70 in the first round, but rallied over the weekend, so if he can get off to a fast start at TPC Scottsdale this week, he’ll have a chance to be in the mix on Sunday. See who else to pick here.
