The 2025 edition of “The People’s Open” raised a record-breaking $18.1 million for local charities — the highest single-year total in tournament history. Since WM was named title sponsor in 2010, The Thunderbirds and the WM Phoenix Open have now raised more than $160 million for local charities. In its 90-year history, the tournament has contributed more than $226 million to benefit nonprofits across Arizona — including more than $120 million in the past 10 years alone.
“Each year the WM Phoenix Open sets a new standard but surpassing yet another record and raising $18 million is truly extraordinary,” said Matt Mooney, Tournament Chairman for the 2025 WM Phoenix Open. “This record-breaking milestone is a testament to the unwavering generosity of our community, the dedication of countless volunteers, and the incredible support from our sponsors and fans. The impact of these contributions reaches deep into our neighborhoods, supporting vital charities and changing lives across Arizona. We’re proud not just of the dollars raised, but of the collective spirit that drives this event forward year after year.”
