Starting today, Thursday, February 5th, and running until Sunday, February 8th, is the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
The biggest storyline to follow in this one is the return of Brooks Koepka to one of his favorite venues at TPC Scottsdale. Koepka was Top-5 last week in strokes gained tee-to-green at the Farmers Insurance Open. However, he was dead last in strokes gained putting. Look for Koepka to make headlines in his second start back on the PGA Tour.
The main feed of the tournament can be found here:
Thursday-Friday: 9:15 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on ESPN+. Then, from 3:30 til the last groups finish up, it will be on the Golf Channel.
Saturday-Sunday: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on ESPN+. Then, from 3 until the final groups finish up, it will be on CBS.
