2022 Waste Management Phoenix Open preview
The Waste Management Phoenix Open is this week, and the event has a field about as good as the Farmers Insurance Open. TPC Scottsdale is a pretty solid pro test, but it's made all the better by the throngs of people who will show up, get hammered and be obnoxiously entertaining all week.
Take a look at my top 10 for this week.

2022 Waste Management Phoenix Open rankings: Top 10 expert picks
1. Jon Rahm: Rahm is the best player in the world, and he's got a great record here. Easy guy to like this week.
2. Viktor Hovland: Hovland won in his last outing in Dubai, and you'd figure that would probably translate well to the Arizona desert.
3. Justin Thomas: Thomas stumbled in the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open, but he's playing well and seems to have a benefit from working with Bones as his caddie.
4. Patrick Cantlay: Cantlay stalled out on Sunday at Pebble Beach in search of the win, but he played mediocre at best through the week and still had a chance to win.
5. Hideki Matsuyama: Hideki could arguably be higher up on this list. He's a two-time winner here and a two-time winner in this season.
6. Sam Burns: This is the kind of stage where Sam Burns has proven he'll shine. This is a hypothetical, though, because he hasn't played a whole lot and missed the cut in Torrey.
7. Daniel Berger: Berger is an ideal horse-for-course play this week, but he's a WD risk and an overall risk with his injury.
8. Seamus Power: Power relinquished a five-shot lead at Pebble Beach, but he's still playing really well, and it's hard not to like him here.
9. Jordan Spieth: We're going to make an assumption here that his struggles with approach play ended with success at Pebble Beach. Otherwise, this is a bad pick.
10. Xander Schauffele: Xander was in the middle of the pack in Saudi Arabia, but he's long overdue for his next PGA Tour win.
