All we could do this weekend is tip our cap to Mr. Thomas Detry, who left it all out on the field in a display of sheer determination and skill; his performance not only showcased his incredible talent but also his unwavering commitment to excellence, leaving no doubt in his dominating victory that captivated fans and established him as a true contender in the sport.

Detry, the 32-year-old Belgian, maintained a remarkable five-shot lead in the final round of the WM Phoenix Open, overcoming stiff competition from formidable players like Spieth and Berger to secure his first PGA Tour victory, demonstrating not only his skill but also his readiness to rise in the sport. With this triumph, Detry takes home an impressive prize of $1,656,000 and earns a valuable 500 FedExCup points, which will undoubtedly bolster his standing in future tournaments and highlight his potential as a rising star in professional golf.

Shot of the day for Thomas was an impressive dart with a 9-iron from 180 yards to 16 inches at the 16th hole of the stadium’s famous par 3. I was really hoping to see another ace; missed it by that much.

Other notable finishes in the tournament included Jordan Spieth, who showcased his exceptional skills by finishing tied for fourth, demonstrating his consistent performance and ability to compete at a high level. Meanwhile, Justin Thomas, known for his powerful drives and precision, also had an impressive outing, ending up tied for sixth place, further solidifying his reputation as one of the top players in the sport. Additionally, Sepp Straka displayed remarkable talent and resilience throughout the event, ultimately securing a respectable 15th place, which reflects his ongoing development and potential for future competitions. Each of these finishes contributes to an exciting narrative in the world of golf as fans eagerly anticipate the next tournaments.

“My Pick” Results: We’ll get them next time! Scottie Scheffler finished tied for 25th place. Not a bad outing, but I am sure he was hoping for better. You’re my boy, Scottie!!

Well, that’s all she wrote from the desert, ladies and gentlemen. What a great weekend it was, filled with plenty of excitement along the way. I can’t wait to see you all next week for the Genesis Open at the beautiful Torrey Pines South Course.

ICYMI, the Philadelphia Eagles are the Super Bowl champions after dominating the Chiefs 40-22. The Eagles displayed an impressive performance as they executed flawlessly on both sides of the ball. This win not only solidifies their place in NFL history but also highlights the hard work and dedication of the entire team, coaching staff, and loyal supporters. To all the Philadelphia faithful out there, fly, Eagles, fly!

It’s almost here! Time to start getting hydrated and figuring out who your designated driver is because starting tomorrow the WM Phoenix Open kicks off at 8:20 a.m. (CT) in Scottsdale, AZ, at the beautiful TPC Scottsdale course! This prestigious event, known for its energetic atmosphere and enthusiastic fans, promises not only thrilling golf but also an unforgettable experience filled with entertainment, social gatherings, and delicious food options available throughout the venue. As you make your plans, consider bringing a group of friends to enjoy the festivities together while cheering on your favorite players amidst the stunning Arizona scenery.

Now the only words that come to mind as I prepare for this weekend come from Mr. Longfellow Deeds: “I’ll bring the beers; I’ll bring the beers.” Man, I love that movie. Anyway, as the excitement builds and the anticipation grows, it’s clear that we can’t deny this event happens to be the rowdiest tour event of the season, particularly because of the lively atmosphere that surrounds it. Especially if there is an ace on the 16th hole (cross your fingers), the energy will reach new heights, and the cheers will echo throughout the course. I have no doubt that we will not be disappointed this year, as friends gather, laughter fills the air, and the thrill of competition drives us to celebrate the game we love. It promises to be a memorable experience, one filled with camaraderie and unforgettable moments.

We have plenty of star-studded power taking the field this weekend, including Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth, just to name a few. However, my eyes will be on World Number 1 Scottie Scheffler, who was the WM Phoenix Open Champion in 2022 and 2023, and will be looking to cement his name once more in this event’s history.

What does the winner get, you ask? Well, the purse for this event is a remarkable $9.2 million, which has seen an increase from last year’s impressive $8.8 million. This substantial prize money not only reflects the growing popularity and prestige of the tournament but also underscores the competitive spirit inherent in the game. The winner, therefore, takes home roughly $1,656,000, in addition to earning a significant 500 FedExCup points, which can play a crucial role in their overall standings throughout the season. It’s moments like these that highlight the dedication, skill, and hard work required to excel in such a high-stakes environment.
