The 2026 Waste Management Phoenix Open prize money payout is from the $9.6 million purse, with the 73 professional players who complete four rounds at TPC Scottsdale near Phoenix, Arizona, earning PGA Tour prize money this week.

The winner's share of the Waste Management Phoenix Open prize pool is at $1,728,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $1,046,400 in PGA Tour prize money today. The Waste Management Phoenix Open prize-money payout breakdown shows a payout of 18 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each PGA Tour player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place professional player.

The 2026 Waste Management Phoenix Open field is headed by Hideki Matsuyama, Si Woo Kim, Maverick McNealy, Scottie Scheffler and more.

This tournament started with 123 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 65 players and ties. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2026 Waste Management Phoenix Open from the correct 2026 Waste Management Phoenix Open full-field payout is based on their finish in this event.

The 2026 Waste Management Phoenix Open prize money payout is set ahead of the event, with the PGA Tour paying out money from the purse if more than 65 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.
