Is Phil Mickelson playing in the 2022 Phoenix Open?
Phil Mickelson Will NOT Play at 2022 Masters.
The young budding star will have to hold off a host of major champions behind him
Thursday's first round of the WM Phoenix Open was as advertised. The best field of the year lived up to its billing, and TPC Scottsdale rocked, but perhaps not in the way you expected.
The leader
Theegala played the back nine (where he started his round) in 5-under 31 and is clean on the front side through seven holes there, as well. He'll pick his first round back up early Friday and follow it up with Round 2.
Other contenders
2nd: K.H. Lee (-6) T3: Brooks Koepka, Adam Hadwin, Harry Higgs, Scott Stallings (-5) T7: Xander Schauffele, Louis Oosthuizen, Charley Hoffman, Alex Noren, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, Bubba Watson, Stewart Cink, Kevin Kisner, Billy Horschel (-4)
Three takeaways
1. Fast and firm: Balls were bouncing all over the place at TPC Scottsdale on Thursday as a fast, firm golf course stood up a bit in a way TPC courses don't normally stand up. It's nuanced, but I thought this was instructive that you don't have to go to one of the elite architectural courses in the world to give the best players a test.
Quote of the day
"I mean, that's embarrassing to be 20th, I feel like. A lot of it has to do with injury, man. I've been hurt, on the sidelines, not playing, playing through injury, you can't compete with guys out here. It's nice to be somewhat healthy and get out here and I mean I'm not too worried about it, it will bounce back up" -- Koepka
One thing I loved today
Caddies at the WM Phoenix Open wear fluorescent, reflective caddie bibs that I believe are supposed to be a nod to folks in charge of trash disposal. I had one garbage man tweet at me that he appreciated the nod. What a world. What a sport!
Another thing I loved today

Event information
Event: WM Phoenix Open | Dates: Feb. 10-13 Location: TPC Scottsdale – Scottsdale, Arizona Par: 71 | Purse: $8.2 million
Three things to know
1. Phoenix rocks: Though it gets a bit overplayed because of the hype of the famous par-3 16th hole, this tournament has turned into a giant on the PGA Tour. Consider the strength of field from the last 10 Phoenix Opens:
Grading the field
This year's strength of field rating of 536 is by far the best field of the year so far, and it would have ranked No. 14 last year behind the majors, the Players, two playoff events, three WGCs, the CJ Cup, the Genesis and the Memorial.
2022 Phoenix Open picks
Winner (12-1): J.T. has 10 straight top 30s worldwide, so you know he's going to at least be near the top of the board, and whether he asserts himself at the top will likely be putter dependent.
