On February 8, 2025By Littum

Scottsdale, AZ (Azfamily) -The famous 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open is known for its bulky crowds, skyboxes and fest -like atmosphere.

“It is the biggest stadium atmosphere in the golf game. With every year that goes, more hollow-in-the-ones and people see how unique this environment is. It continues to get bigger and be a bucket list destination, ”said Matt Mooney, 2025 WM Phoenix Open Tournament President.

While the fans of the 16th hole tend to get a little crazy, WM officials make it known that they crack down on specific behavior.

It does not include letting something be thrown on the field. “It’s really about having a mindset of respect. We talk about respect for fans, respect the players, respect the game. We must remember that this is a PGA Tour event, ”Mooney said.

The trend started after Pro golfer Sam Ryder hit a hole-in-one.

The audience got crazy and started the theme of throwing objects, including beer cans, on the field.

“Everyone has seen Sam Ryder Hole-in-one in 2022. Obviously, an incredibly cool cool performance has the spray of beer cans that we saw,” Mooney said.

Now, everywhere you continue on the 16th, there will be these characters that say, ‘If you throw, you go.’ “If you throw, you will definitely take the cases in your own hands that you may need to leave the golf tournament,” Mooney said.

Although there will be no one to throw this year, fans can still have fun on the 16th by celebrating in other ways.

“The most important thing is to wait until the ball is hit and once in the air, rejoices as high as you can. Give them a Phoenix open roar and show the players that we are excited about being here, ”Mooney said.
