Waste Management Phoenix Open field and favorites

The odds board sees World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in a tier of his own as he looks to make history this week. He'll look to become the first PGA Tour player to complete a three-peat on the PGA Tour since Steve Stricker at the 2011 John Deere Classic. 

His unwavering consistency has continued into the new year with T5, T17, and T6 (last week at Pebble Beach) finishes to open 2024. The ball-striking numbers are unmatched and an average or better week with the putter means a serious chance at victory.

Justin Thomas' bounceback season is well underway and his wicked form to kick off 2024 finds him second on the board at 10/1 and as short as 9/1. His T6 at Pebble Beach marked his fifth straight finish of sixth or better dating back to the Fortinet in September.

Max Homa (T39 here last year), Jordan Spieth (T6), and Sam Burns (also T6) make up the next tier between 14/1 and 18/1. Those odds have already shortened with Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele — both of whom would have been in the Top 5 — withdrawing on Monday. 

Other notables include Sungjae Im (T66 at Pebble, T6 here in 2023) at +2,500 and Pebble Beach champion Wyndham Clark between +2,800 and +3,300. The defending U.S. Open champ finished T10 here in 2023 — his best result in five career tries. 

2018 Phoenix Open champ Rickie Fowler is on the board at 50/1 while 2017 winner Gary Woodland can be had as long as 150/1.
