Sepp Straka, Tom Kim and Cameron Young among newest 2025 WM Phoenix Open commits

The 2025 WM Phoenix Open has added five golfers ranked in the top 50 of the World Golf Rankings, including Sepp Straka (No. 20), Tom Kim (24) and Cameron Young (No. 45), to its tournament field.

Brian Harman (No. 33) and Matt Fitzpatrick (No. 48) are also joining the field, the tournament announced on Sunday.

“With each new commitment, the field … continues to get stronger,” tournament chairman Matt Mooney said in a release. “This year’s lineup is already packed with Major champions, past winners and some of the biggest rising stars in the game, shaping up to be one of the most competitive fields we’ve seen at TPC Scottsdale.”

The tournament will start with its first round on Thursday at 7:30 a.m. MST after the Pro-Am on Wednesday. The final round starts Sunday at 9 a.m.

What to know about 2025 WM Phoenix Open’s newest additions

Straka will make his fourth appearance at the tournament, and he has a 2025 PGA Tour win under his belt already at The American Express, where he held on to beat Justin Thomas by two strokes. Thomas is also a WM Phoenix Open commit.

Kim, a South Korean, had a top-20 finish at the tournament in 2024. He’s one of the fastest rising names in the sport and recently became the first golfer since Tiger Woods to win two PGA Tour events before turning 21. Now at 22 and as a member of Woods’ TGL team, he returns to the Valley for the third straight year.

Coming off his best finish at the event last year (eighth), Young has already begun building off a strong 2024 into 2025. The 2022 Rookie of the Year had six top-10 finishes last year and already has one this year thanks to a -23 finish at The Sentry. This will be Young’s fourth year at the WM Phoenix Open.

Harman, entering his 13th tournament appearance, was on the 2024 U.S. Presidents Cup team and finished the year 31st in the FedEx Cup Rankings, tying for second at The Players Championship.

Fitzpatrick finished one place behind Harman at The Players Championship, one of his three top-10 finishes on the year. Set to make his fourth WM Phoenix Open appearance, he also represented England at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

The field now includes 15 of the world’s top 30 golfers and the winners of eight of the past nine tournaments: Nick Taylor (2024), Scottie Scheffler (2023, 2022), Webb Simpson (2020), Rickie Fowler (2019), Gary Woodland (2018) and Matsuyama (2017, 2016).
