The PGA Tour touches down at TPC Scottsdale for the beloved WM Phoenix Open, and two-time champion Scottie Scheffler headlines the field.
While the World No. 1 is the runaway betting favorite in the WM Phoenix Open odds, I’m looking past him when filling out my top golf picks for this week’s betting card.

WM Phoenix Open outright picks
Outright pick: Sam Burns
+2800 at Fanatics
This will be the eighth trip to TPC Scottsdale for Sam Burns, and he carded a T3-T6 run before dipping to T49 last season. His game is trending back in the right direction with true strokes gained off-the-tee and on approach in consecutive events.
Of course, he’s also an all-world putter and ranks fifth in this field in true strokes gained on the greens across his past five tournaments.
Outright pick: Si Woo Kim
+2800 at Fanatics
The three-time PGA Tour winner is on a prolonged heater and has played the weekend in 10 consecutive events with four Top 5s, including his T2 at the Farmers last week.

Si Woo Kim is also pacing this field in driving accuracy and true strokes gained on approach, while ranking second in tee-to-green play across his past five tournaments. Add three straight Top 25s here, and he’s positioned for his best finish at the event.
WM Phoenix Open prop picks
Finishing position pick: Maverick McNealy
+130 at Fanatics
Maverick McNealy finished solo 10th at the Farmers last week, and it was his second consecutive event gaining true strokes across the board. He’s also carded consecutive Top 10s in the WM Phoenix Open, including shooting a Saturday-low 63 last year and finishing third in true strokes gained putting for the event.

Finishing position pick: Jordan Spieth
+210 at Fanatics
Jordan Spieth gained true strokes across the board during his solid T24 start to the season at the Sony Open, and his track record at TPC Scottsdale pops. In addition to his T4-T6-T6 run across his past three trips to the Waste Management, Speith has added three more Top 10s across his nine total appearances in this event.
WM Phoenix Open first-round pick
Round 1 pick: Si Woo Kim Under 68.5
-105 at Fanatics
In addition to the aforementioned Si Woo Kim praise, he’s also carded 68 or lower in seven of his past eight rounds at TPC Scottsdale, and his two best finishes at the event have come in the past two years.
