About the Course
Home to the PGA Tour's Waste Management Phoenix Open since 1987, TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course hosts 'the most attended golf tournament in the world'—setting a record with over 719,000 spectators in a single week in 2018. The par-3 16th hole stands as the only fully enclosed hole on the PGA Tour, where temporary grandstands create a 20,000-seat 'Coliseum' atmosphere unlike anywhere else in golf. Tiger Woods' hole-in-one here during the 1997 Phoenix Open, met with erupting crowds, cemented the hole's legendary status. Desert landscapes blend with water features as saguaro cacti and undulating bunkers define the quintessential Arizona desert golf experience—this is not just a tournament, but a spectacular sporting celebration.
