With every passing year, the rowdiness and bizarreness of the WM Phoenix Open increase multifold. But this year, the craziness seems to have increased beyond measure. Why, you may wonder? Well, keep reading, as it turns out bad weather was not the only bizarre thing that happened at the fan-favorite event this year.
From becoming accident-prone following a fan’s unfortunate fall on the greens to now a fan openly committing public indecency, the event’s audience seems to know no bounds. This new low manifested itself as a viral video of a fan pissing himself in the open during the event. The fan seemed to be in an extremely drunken position.
Yes, you heard that right. An extremely drunken fan was witnessed sitting on a chair near a compost bin on the greens with a bottle in hand and urinating himself. Weirdly enough, the people around him did not seem to notice it, as seen in the video. Possibly because weirdness has become the new norm when associated with the People’s Open.

Here are some of the reactions:
An angry fan was quick to point out how this is not their definition of party and even put the blame on the state of Arizona for this public indecency.
WM is confirmation AZ can't actually party.

A fair share of fans were quick to hint at the “sloppy drunkenness” that has become the norm at the Waste Management Open. While some criticized the extreme level of craziness, others were quick to add a ‘d’ to ‘Waste’ in the event name and turn it into “Wasted Management.”
Damn, that’s hammered.

The WM craze is kinda tired at this point. I love passion. I love rowdiness. I love the noise. This? The absolute sloppy drunkenness going on? It’s embarrassing, truly.

Should rename it the Wasted Management tournament.

This disgusting incident even acted as a reason enough to change a fan’s mind about visiting TPC Scottsdale. It is safe to say that the increased drunkenness is costing the PGA Tour a fair share of ticket money.
I thought I wanted to go to this tournament, but not anymore.

Pointing at the presented situation’s weird nature, a fan made a joke stating the WM Phoenix needs to do what its name suggests better.
Looks like the Waste Management needs some better waste management.

Adding to the ongoing jokes in the comments section, a fan was quick to compare the drunken fan’s act of pissing himself to that of a leaking roof.
