Chris Gotterup fired an 8-under 63 to grab the first-round lead at the 2026 WM Phoenix Open, embracing the electric atmosphere at TPC Scottsdale. Playing alongside Scottie Scheffler, Gotterup capitalized on the crowd's energy, especially at the famed 16th hole, while Scheffler struggled to a 2-over 73. The event, known for its massive fan attendance, sets the stage for potential shifts in the FedEx Cup standings.
The PGA Tour event at Silverado Resort in Napa will not return in 2026, marking the first absence since 2014. Andy McDowell, executive director of the tournament, announced the discontinuation on Friday following the loss of title sponsor Procore Technologies. The tournament, which ran for 12 years, raised nearly $10 million for charity and overcame challenges like wildfires and the pandemic.
