Tiger Woods' first appearance on the 2015 PGA Tour has finally arrived. Woods is one of a number of the game's best due in Scottsdale this week for the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open, which is typically one of the most populated early-season tournaments.

For Woods, it's a deviation from the norm. The former world No. 1 will be appearing in the event for the first time in more than a decade. It's his first tournament of the 2015 calendar year and first since a tie for last place at the Humana Challenge.

Also making the trip to Arizona is local favorite Phil Mickelson, a three-time winner of the event, and Bubba Watson. If there's one thing the American-heavy field lacks, it's participants from across the pond. The highest-ranked non-American in the field is No. 18 Hideki Matsuyama. Keep in mind the world's top three golfers and six of the top 10 reside outside the United States.

If it weren't for Woods' appearance, perhaps the field would feel a little underwhelming. But instead it's a mark-your-calendar event that will surely carry momentum into the weekend. The following is a day-by-day outlook at the 2015 Phoenix Open.

Day 4 Recap



At just 24 years of age, Brooks Koepka has won his first-ever PGA Tour event, shooting a 66 on Sunday to finish at 15-under and edge out Bubba Watson, Ryan Palmer and Hideki Matsuyama (all 14-under).

Martin Laird, who opened the day atop the leaderboard, shot a final-round 72 and finished 12-under, a disappointing finale to an otherwise excellent tournament. 

But this day was all about Koepka, who looks like one of the young stars to watch in the game of golf, per Jason Sobel of the Golf Channel:



Young, talented players just continue to make their mark on the game, as John Buccigross of ESPN noted:
