6:00 Am Video Outside TPC Scottsdale Perfectly Captures the Fan Frenzy at the WM Phoenix Open

It is no secret, the WM Phoenix Open is famous for its 16th hole. Every year, hundreds and thousands of people fill the stadium to raise the spirits of the golfers competing; and this time was no different either.

The PGA Tour shared a video on its Twitter account in which the ardent golf fans can be seen lined up hours before the tournament, to get a good seat at the 16th hole of the Phoenix Open. The caption says, “It’s 6 a.m. in Phoenix. This is the line to get into the @WMPhoenixOpen. The first fans got here at 2:30 a.m.”

The never-ending line outside the TPC Scottsdale reminds us why the tournament is called the People’s Open. 

The importance of the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open

The WM Phoenix Open is the most attended event in PGA Tour’s history. Due to the covid restrictions, not many were allowed at the event last year. However, this year, the event is back in all its glory. But why do people love the Open more than any other event?

The structure of the TPC Scottsdale golf course and stadium is what makes the event more interesting for the audience. According to the officials, the stadium at the 16th hole can accommodate more than 16,000 people. Usually, the fans have to stand to watch their favorites play; however, here, the people can take a seat and enjoy the Open at comfort.

Since there is a sea of people in attendance, the reaction to each shot is equally emphatic. And if a golfer couldn’t make it to the green, the audience will make their disappointment evident. 

Fans react to the long line of people waiting for the tournament

The most important comment from the post belongs to the PGA Tour itself as they updated what happened an hour later at the stadium. 

In the video, the crowd can be seen seated and waiting for the tournament to begin, while having a party of their own. The funny thing is that the PGA Tour even mentioned that the event will only begin five hours later.

The PGA Tour added a video as another comment in which a man chose the TPC Scottsdale as the location to propose to his girlfriend. It is an example of how people consider the tournament as a family event.

People outside the golf world often think the sport is boring. However, a visit to the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale, and we’re certain they’ll think otherwise.
