2021 WM Phoenix Open Tournament Preview

Waste Management Phoenix Open LogoOne of the most popular PGA Tour stops for the fans (and probably the golfers too) is the WM Phoenix Open. Played at the TPC Scottsdale, the Waste Management Open features the famous 16th hole Par 3 that is surrounded by stands that looks like a mini stadium and is known as “The Coliseum”. Famously this hole used to feature Caddie Races, but were banned by the PGA tour because of injuries sustained by the racers.

The other great spectacle is the fan reaction to shots on the 16th hole. Miss the green and players are mercilessly booed to their ball. Hit the green and the crowd roars – Hit a Hole in One and the crowd goes absolutely bananas!
