WM PHOENIX OPEN NEWS INFO

If Wednesday at the WM Phoenix Open feels a little bigger, louder, and more electric than most Pro-Am days, there’s a reason.

The 2026 Annexus Pro-Am brings together an all-star mix of professional athletes, entertainers, musicians and Olympians for one of the most anticipated days of tournament week, turning TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course into a showcase of star power and personality before competition officially ramps up.

A STAR-STUDDED WEDNESDAY AWAITS AT THE
2026 ANNEXUS PRO-AM

Headlining the field are some of the biggest names in professional sports. Major League Baseball stars Mookie Betts, Alex Bregman and Cal Raleigh will trade batting gloves for golf clubs, while Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, returns for another appearance in the Annexus Pro-Am. NFL fans will see three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce in action, joined by Arizona Cardinals standouts Trey McBride, Budda Baker and Zaven Collins, who bring a strong local connection to the day.

The lineup also features icons across multiple generations and sports, including Larry Fitzgerald Jr., NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, and two-time Olympic gold medalist and World Cup champion Carli Lloyd, reinforcing why the Annexus Pro-Am has become one of the most diverse and entertaining events of the week.

Entertainment is well represented as well. Actor and comedian Colin Jost and The Office favorite Brian Baumgartner add personality and humor throughout the course, while country music standout Zach Top – who will also take the stage at the Coors Light Birds Nest later in the week – brings a music-world presence to the fairways.

What makes the Annexus Pro-Am unique isn’t just the names on the tee sheet, but the atmosphere it creates. Fans get a rare, up-close look at stars in a relaxed setting, interacting with PGA TOUR professionals, soaking in the energy of the course, and enjoying a day that blends competition with accessibility and fun.

Tee times for the Annexus Pro-Am will begin Wednesday morning on the Stadium Course, with pairings and starting holes announced Tuesday night. For fans planning to be on site, it’s a chance to experience tournament week from a different angle – one where celebrity sightings are just as likely as birdies, and the buzz of the WM Phoenix Open is already in full swing.
