WM Phoenix Open - Final Round — WM Phoenix Open will start on Thursday, February 8

The 2024 WM Phoenix Open is set to commence on Thursday, February 8. Unlike last week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, California, the TPC Scottsdale is not going to be affected by heavy winds and inclement weather.

Although the Tuesday (February 6) practice session of the WM Phoenix Open was interrupted by rainfall, the weather is expected to get better as the week progresses towards the main event on Thursday.

As per National Weather Service Phoenix meteorologist Matt Salerno, the TPC Scottsdale will not face as strong winds and rainfall as Pebble Beach due to the topographical difference.

Salerno was quoted as saying via Golfweek:

"Just due to the fact that we have mountainous terrain around the city, and we are in a low spot of the Valley, the clouds and rain tend to form around us. As the winds start blowing from the south, those clouds and precipitation move away from the Valley up towards the mountains."

Salerno added that the storms hitting California were caused by the atmospheric river flowing along the West Coast. However, the amount of moisture was not going to be strong enough to reach Phoenix, Arizona.
