World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler begins his quest for a third consecutive Phoenix Open title today in Scottsdale, Arizona. Scheffler, who recently earned lifetime status on the PGA Tour after his 20th career win, noted that he thrives under the pressure of the event's famously large and vocal crowds. 

Meanwhile, the LIV Golf Riyadh event is also underway, with Rory McIlroy reportedly softening his stance on the breakaway league as his close friend Jon Rahm's "Legion XIII" team continues to expand. In amateur golf, Thailand's Junior Fifa Laopakdee has made history as the first Thai player to win the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, securing his spot in the 2026 Masters.
