The 2021-22 PGA TOUR will be making a stop at TPC Scottsdale down in Arizona for another big-purse event.

The Total Payout | $8.2 Million
This tournament traces its roots all the way back to 1932 when it was still called the Arizona Open. That year, Ralph Guldahl won by a stroke and pocketed just $600 out of the total purse worth $2,500. That was not bad during that time, but certainly far from the sky-high amount players are winning these days in the PGA TOUR. Through the years, the purse in this tournament has grown incrementally, and in 1991, the Phoenix Open guaranteed a $ 1 million purse for the first time ever, with Nolan Henke winning the $180,000 prize for topping the field.
