Scottie Scheffler has played one golf tournament to begin his 2026 PGA Tour season. Of course, he won.<\/p>\n
The world’s No. 1 golfer will now be back on the course this Thursday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He enters as the favorite, as he will all year long.<\/p>\n
This week, it’s a particularly logical position for Scheffler to take. He has historically played very well at this event.<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler history at WM Phoenix Open<\/p>\n
Scheffler has played this tournament each of the past six years.<\/p>\n
His results by year:<\/p>\n
2020: Cut2021: Tied-7th2022: Win2023: Win2024: Tied-3rd2025: Tied-25th<\/p>\n
The tournament is played at the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale.<\/p>\n
It’s a par-71 course, and it brings out the loudest, rowdiest crowds in golf. That’s part of this week’s charm.<\/p>\n
Clearly, Scheffler has often embraced that very well.<\/p>\n
With how well Scheffler is playing right now, and his history at this event, it’s hard to believe he could lose.<\/p>\n
Of course, golf is a weird game. Lots of things could happen as the tournament heads into the weekend.<\/p>\n
But there’s a decent chance this just ends up being another Scottie Scheffler show.<\/p>\n
