One the wildest tournaments in golf takes place this weekend as the 2025 Waste Management Open touches down in Arizona. Also known as the Phoenix Open, the PGA tour event brings together some of the world’s best golfers in front of a rambunctious crowd that is free to cheer (or jeer) on the players at

Scheffler lost his drive a bit to the right where it found a fairway bunker 104 yards from the hole. The reigning player of the year would then turn his fortunes around with a single swing. Scottie hit a perfect shot out of the sand and holed his 2nd into the par 4, making a hole-out eagle.
