Back to World No. 1 Scheffler fired a six-under 65 in the final round to win the WM Phoenix Open by two shots over Nick Taylor. Impact What a difference a year makes. In 2022 Scheffler was still looking to notch his first victory on the PGA Tour after so many close calls. In 2023 he successfully defended his title at the Phoenix Open for his fifth PGA Tour win. Scheffler will now go back to No. 1 in the OWGR after Rory McIlroy took the top spot away from him with a hot run last fall. Scheffler, McIlroy, and Jon Rahm have firmly established themselves as the best three places in the game today and will continue to do battle for that top spot next week at the Genesis Invitational.
