Buckle up, golf fans. We have a wild Sunday ahead at the WM Phoenix Open.
Not only do we have two of the world’s top three players set to battle for the title and the right to ascend to World No. 1, we also have a designated event purse: $20 million is up for grabs, including a sweet payday of $3.6 million for Sunday’s winner. That’s more than double the money at stake in “regular” PGA Tour events.
To put that increase in perspective, 65th place will take home $43,000 at TPC Scottsdale. At last week’s AT&T Pebble Beach, which featured a $9 million purse, 65th place earned $19,350.
How to watch the 2023 WM Phoenix Open on Saturday: Round 4 live coverage
Scottie Scheffler, 13 under par through 54 holes, holds a two-shot over Canadian Nick Taylor and Jon Rahm, who are 11 under. Jordan Spieth is lurking at 10 under alongside Adam Hadwin. And just four shots back is a bevy of big names: Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Jason Day, Sungjae Im and Tyrrell Hatton.
Given the drama that awaits on TPC Scottsdale’s closing holes, this will certainly be a tournament finish to remember.
