Scottie Scheffler to Phil Mickelson: Here are the WM Phoenix Open’s past champions 

The WM Phoenix Open is currently underway and will conclude on February 12. It is one of the year's most important events, with a star-studded field. The tournament features 37 of the top 50 golfers in the world rankings, including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Collin Morikawa. Scheffler is back to defend his title this year.

The WM Phoenix Open started in 1932 and was named the Arizona Open at the time. In 1935, the name was changed to the Phoenix Open.

Phil Mickelson has won the tournament thrice and so have Mark Calcavecchia, Arnold Palmer, and Gene Littler.
