PHOENIX (AZFamily) — It’s no surprise that the WM Phoenix Open attracts tons of celebrities every year, but now, three incredible athletes, including an Arizona legend, will be participating in one of the most anticipated events!

Arizona Cardinals’ great Larry Fitzgerald, Women’s World Cup winner Carli Lloyd, and 2016 World Series champion Kyle Schwarber will participate in this year’s Annexus Pro-Am at the WM Phoenix Open.

The three stars are among the first celebrities who have committed to play in the event.

“We’re thrilled to welcome my fellow Thunderbird Larry Fitzgerald, along with Carli Lloyd and Kyle Schwarber to the 2025 Annexus Pro-Am,” said Matt Mooney, Tournament Chairman. “These athletes have reached the pinnacle of their sports, making them the perfect additions to ‘The People’s Open.’ The Annexus Pro-Am is all about bringing together golf, entertainment, and community, and this year’s lineup is shaping up to be one of the most memorable yet.”

Fitz is a household name to many Arizonans who watched him on their televisions during his 17 seasons with the Red Birds. He is the Cardinals’ all-time leading receiver and is regarded as one of the most productive and consistent wide receivers in NFL history.

Lloyd was a central member of the U.S. Women’s National soccer team, where she helped lead the team to two FIFA Women’s World Cup titles in 2015 and 2019. She is also known for her unforgettable performance in the 2015 Women’s World Cup final, where Team USA faced off against Japan. Lloyd scored a hat trick in the first 16 minutes, leading USA to a 5-2 victory.

Schwarber helped lead the Chicago Cubs to a World Series win in 2016, ending the team’s 108-year championship drought. He is known for his slugging power, such as when he led the National League with 46 home runs in 2022. He now plays for the Philadelphia Phillies.

The 2025 WM Phoenix Open will take place Feb. 3-9 at TPC Scottsdale. For more information, visit WMPhoenixOpen.com.
