Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Sam Burns were announced
Thursday as part of the 2023 field at TPC Scottsdale, famous for
its No. 16 stadium hole.
The Phoenix Open will serve as the second "elevated" event of
the season as part of the PGA Tour's initiative to raise purses
for its premier events in order to keep more players from
defecting to LIV Golf. This year's Phoenix Open will have a $20
million purse.
Scheffler, 26, started a red-hot run by claiming his first PGA
Tour title at the Phoenix Open in a playoff over Patrick Cantlay.
He went on to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the WGC-Dell
Technologies Match Play in March and capped it off by winning
his first major title at the Masters in April.
Schauffele is ranked No. 6 in the world and Burns is ranked No.
13. Schauffele won three times on tour last season and Burns won
twice, including beating Scheffler in a playoff at the Charles
Schwab Challenge.
