The WM Phoenix Open can never be accused of not providing an unforgettable experience, especially in 2024. The event resulted in weather delays, fan interactions and a lot of frustration for several golfers. Ultimately, it yielded a pretty entertaining weekend that was jam-packed with action.
Several golfers had a tough time with the fans, but others persevered to make it through with a pretty exceptional performance. A tie persisted through the third round and into the fourth (with both rounds coming on Sunday). Here's a list of the winners.

It resulted in a tense playoff that happened at the same time as the Super Bowl, but it was an epic weekend of golf that gave Nick Taylor and Charley Hoffman a duel for the ages.
Scottie Scheffler is proving to be one of the best WM Phoenix Open players ever. He came in as a two-time champion and put together another dominant showing. It was a tightly contested outing regardless of some other stellar performances, but Scheffler showed why he was the reigning champion in his T3 finish.
Zach Johnson dealt with fans and did not have a good time, but he ultimately prevailed to put together a solid showing. He was far from the winner, but he played well despite the circumstances.
The same can be said of Jordan Spieth, who got caught mouthing expletives about the fan experience. He ultimately played really well and contended for the win though he ended up falling a bit short.
Unfortunately, it was not an excellent weekend for a few golfers, some of whom didn't make it to the final rounds after failing to make the cut. This includes Luke Donald, J.T. Poston, Max Homa, Akshay Bhatia, Grayson Murray and Gary Woodland.
