Inside the Field: WM Phoenix Open

The PGA TOUR season continues its West Coast Swing at the WM Phoenix Open, held at TPC Scottsdale. This Full-Field Event is a fan-favorite spectacle on TOUR, with the par-3 No. 16 a bucket-list item to witness for many professional golf fans.

The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all full-field events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.

Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
