Aon Risk Reward Challenge at the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale

The Aon Risk Reward Challenge is a season- long competition on the PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour testing the abilities of the world’s best players to make thoughtful, strategic decisions on the most challenging holes (“Aon Risk Reward Challenge holes”) throughout the year.

And this week the Challenge touches down at the WM Phoenix Open and the 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale.

In recent years, more players have made the decision to go for the 17th green at TPC Scottsdale, lessening the advantage gained by making that choice. But a drive long and right will still gain more than half-a- stroke over players who choose to lay up.

While the party may be on the preceding hole, the 17th plays a larger role in determining the winner. In 36 years, no player has ever bogeyed 17 in the final round here and gone on to win.

At the end of the regular season, the most consistent player across each tour, with the lowest average score under par, on the Aon Risk Reward Challenge holes captures the $1 million prize.

Aon is committed to a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive, ensuring delivery of the best innovative solutions for clients. As such, providing equal prize money to both the PGA and LPGA Tours aligns with Aon’s core values and brand.

Aon’s Risk Reward Challenge Scoring

For every participating event, a player’s best two scores on the designated hole counts towards the season-long leaderboard.
