The Waste Management Phoneix Open was already the most-attended event in golf, but this year the tournament will be even bigger than before — much bigger.
For one, the WM Open is now the first full-field designated event on the PGA Tour. And the purse reflects this change at more than double what it was last year, up to $20 million from $8.2 million, with this year’s first-place winner taking home $3.6 million (for comparison, the four Major Golf Tournaments have a purse of $15 million and a first-place prize of $2.7 million this year). But this year’s Waste Management Open is also poised to shatter its own attendance record thanks to the other big event happening in Phoenix this weekend: Super Bowl LVII.
If you’re looking to watch the Waste Management Open online this year, read on. Below is a full guide on how to stream the Phoenix Open without cable, plus details on the tournament’s schedule and players.

Rahm already has two wins under his belt this year — the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the American Express this year — while Mcllroy is coming off a recent win at the Dubai Desert Classic.
Right behind Rahm and Mcllroy is World No. 2 and defending Phoenix Open champion Scottie Scheffler. Last year, Scheffler’s win in Scottsdale set off a winning streak that made him World No. 1. Other top contenders at the Phoenix Open include Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, and Sahith Theegala, who all made it to the tournament’s final round last year.
