The 2024 WM Phoenix Open field was filled out that much more on Wednesday, with Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau and Sahith Theegala all committing to play in the tournament next month.
Fowler, a returning champ, will look to add another WM Phoenix Open win to his resume after taking home the victory in 2019.
“We are very excited to have three of the most popular and energetic players on the PGA TOUR back at ‘The People’s Open’,” tournament chairman George Thimsen said in a press release.
“Rickie, Tony and Sahith are clearly fan favorites at the WM Phoenix Open and have all had tremendous success here, with Rickie being our 2019 champion. We’re looking forward to seeing them compete in February.”
