Phoenix Open Pickswise Expert Predictions
While the Kansas City Chiefs are going for the ‘three-peat’ in New Orleans against the Philadelphia Eagles, Scottie Scheffler might well have been going for a Phoenix four-timer had he putted better over the weekend in Arizona 12 months ago, when he finished 3rd behind Nick Taylor. A champion in 2022 and 2023, the 28-year-old returns to Arizona having won 9 titles over the last year and there might not be much sense in taking him on in a non-Signature event that lacks depth.
Scheffler made a promising return from hand surgery in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am last week, finishing 9th, and while he was no match for an inspired Rory McIlroy, that performance has to be viewed as a positive with this week in mind. The world number 1 did not sparkle in all areas at Pebble Beach — there is room for improvement with the driver and around the greens — but he led the field in strokes-gained approach and a similar effort should translate to success at a venue that always rewards those who hit greens in regulation.
