Waste Management Phoenix Open Winners & Full List of Past Champions

The WM Phoenix Open has been a mainstay on the PGA Tour schedule now for over 90 years and it continues to be one of the most anticipated events of the year by players and fans alike.

The famous tournament, known as the Phoenix Open throughout the large majority of its existence, has been dubbed 'The Greatest Show on Grass' and 'The People's Open' for its unrivaled environment and electric atmosphere. This annual party in the desert continues to attract hundreds and thousands of passionate fans each and every year.

Winning this event, surviving the cauldron that is the iconic 16th, and embracing and thriving in the crazed atmosphere is quite the feat for any eventual champion of this famous tournament.

First established in 1932, 'The People's Open' has an illustrious list of champions including fifteen players who have won in the desert on multiple occasions. The most recent being world no.1, Scottie Scheffler, who will be going for an astonishing three-peat at TPC Scottsdale following his second consecutive win at the WM Phoenix Open last year.

Scheffler will aim to become just the 5th player in tournament history to win a hat-trick of titles in the desert.
