The PGA Tour sets up shop this week in Scottsdale, Arizona for the 83rd annual Waste Management Phoenix Open at the iconic TPC Stadium Course.
The 132-player field in Scottsdale is headlined defending champion Hideki Matsuyama, along with a pair of Arizona State products in three-time winner Phil Mickelson, and Spanish superstar Jon Rahm.
World No. 5 Matsuayama, along with World No. 3 Jordan Spieth, are the co-favorites this week in Arizona. The two superstars are offered at 9-1.
World No. 2 Rahm, the highest ranked player in the field, is another favorite, and listed with odds of 10-1. World No. 7 Rickie Fowler (12-1) and World No. 4 Justin Thomas (14-1) round out the top-five favorites.
Our payoff pick this week is Keegan Bradley at 50-1. The former major winner had a solid under-the-radar season in 2017 (five top 10s, five more top 25s), and in five starts this season, Bradley has two top 5s, including a solo-fifth at Torrey Pines last week.
