The Waste Management Phoenix Open, dubbed the “Greatest Show on Grass,” is one of the leading stops on the PGA tour but it’s also one of Phoenix’s most wild parties and a true one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you’re golf-obsessed or not, it’s fairly well-known that the club hitting the ball is about the loudest thing you’ll hear at a golf tournament. But unlike most tournaments, the WMPhoenix Open is far from quiet. As the PGA Tour’s best attended event, it draws crowds by the thousands to join together at TPC Scottsdale, the site of the tournament since 1987.
While the 16th hole, surrounded by a man-made stadium built over multiple months, is where the “party” is at, the raucous atmosphere spills over into the rest of the surrounding holes (much to the golfer’s dismay), making for a golf experience that is far from typical.
Since arriving to the tournament six mimosas deep at 8 a.m. is not abnormal for spectators, the WMO Party Bus is offering up transportation from multiple bars around town to shuttle party-goers to the North Scottsdale course.
WMO Party Bus: All pickup locations will be open at 9:00 AM and will have mimosa’s, bloody mary’s and drink specials for your day drinking pleasure. Busses will start returning at 3 PM and run until 6 PM. Pickup locations below.
