Notes on the field
With many of the Tour's top stars opting to play in the Saudi International event last week, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am had a really light field, but that is changing this week.
The Waste Management Phoenix Open is one of the marquee stops on the Tour schedule. The field this week includes 28 of the OWGR Top 50 and has a SOF rating of 536 (181 last week) with 64 OWGR points projected to go to the winner (36 last week).
The likes of Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Xander Schauffele, and two-time champion Brooks Koepka will all be teeing it up this week.
Waste Management Phoenix Open pre-tournament favorites
Jon Rahm (+750)
Topping this week's pre-tournament odds board is none other than OWGR No. 1 Jon Rahm, available at +750.
He kicked off the new season with runner-up and T14 finishes at the Sentry and Amex, then finished T3 at the Farmers two weeks ago with FAR from his best stuff.
Rahm, who played his college golf nearby at Arizona State, has made six starts at this event, with no finish worse than T16.
Justin Thomas (+1,200)
Next on the board at +1,200 is Justin Thomas.
JT has been in some incredible form over the last few months, posting T5 finishes in five of his last eight starts dating back to the Northern Trust in late August.
He was in contention all week long at the Farmers Insurance Open two weeks ago but finished T20 after fading away in his final round.
He has great course history here at TPC Scottsdale and will look to build off his T3 and T13 finishes here in 2020 and 2021.
Viktor Hovland (+1,600)
In a tie for third might be the hottest golfer on the planet, Viktor Hovland, available at +1,600.
Hovland has leaped up to OWGR No. 3 after three victories (World Wide Technology Championship, Hero World Challenge, and Dubai Desert Classic) in only his last five starts.
He hasn't played this event since 2020 when he missed the cut, but he's a much different player now and should find himself in the mix again this week.
Patrick Cantlay (+1,600)
Running alongside Hovland at +1,600 is Patrick Cantlay.
Cantlay has been racking up Top-5 and Top-10 finishes over the last couple of months and had another great chance to win last week at Pebble Beach before shooting himself out of it in the last few holes.
However, he remains in strong form and will be teeing it up for the first time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Waste Management Phoenix Open notable longshots
Harold Varner III (+5,000)
Down the board at +5,000 is one Harold Varner III.
Varner III won last week's Saudi International event over a strong field. He holed a 92-foot eagle putt on 18, securing a win that moved him inside the OWGR Top 50, where he'll need to stay to qualify for the Masters in April.
With a big win under his belt, and Top-15 finishes in two of his last three starts at TPC Scottsdale, another strong week could be in order for Harold Varner III.
Rickie Fowler (+8,000)
Another name worth mentioning is Rickie Fowler, who's available at +8,000.
Fowler's journey back to consistent form has seen its fair share of ups and downs. Look no further than the Farmers two weeks ago, where he shot an opening-round 66, followed by a second-round 76, missing the cut by just one shot.
But it's Rickie's tournament history at the Phoenix Open that makes him worth the attention. He won this event in 2019 and has posted runner-up finishes in 2016 and 2010 as well.
