2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament winner Wyndham Clark will return to compete at this week's PGA Tour event with the hope of replicating his last week's success at the TPC Sawgrass and adding a fourth Tour title to his accolades.

The 30-year-old won last week's PGA Tour event after the tournament was trimmed to 54 holes due to poor weather. His performance in the third round of the Pebble Beach event impressed fans when he hit 12-under 60 and made a 22-position jump on the leaderboard.

Wyndham Clark is one of the experts' favorites to win at the WM Phoenix Open with odds of +4000, as per CBS Sports.

Clark will tee off for the first round of the event on Thursday, February 8, on the first tee hole at 2:33 p.m. ET with Scottie Scheffler and Hideki Matsuyama.


#2 Scottie Scheffler

On Thursday, Scheffler will start his game at 2:33 p.m. ET on the first tee hole.
