The Phoenix Open’s famously booze-soaked 16th hole is one of the most unique spectacles in golf, where the normally gentile sport lets loose with stadium-style seating, deafening music and an enthusiastic announcer introducing players in a scene that’s more WWE than PGA Tour.

Tournament organizers have adjusted their policies and the grounds to handle huge crowds. "There's no way it's going to be worse."

WM Phoenix Open has kicked off at TPC Scottsdale, and this year's edition is offering a $9.2 million purse, with $1.656 million to the winner. Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler headlines the field, as he's won this event in 2022 and 2023 and finished third last year.
