Do you know who won the 2024 Phoenix Open yeah neither does anyone who was there the ever popular tournament famous for its loose atmosphere was an absolute mess this year with Nick Taylor’s Championship run getting overshadowed by excessive drunkenness and a whole lot of Ulf likee Behavior like we’re talking

Shirtless snow angels in the sand trap kind of stuff yeah it’s no stretch to say that this was the rowdiest PGA tournament ever and we’re going to break down the Mayhem for you right now sit back relax and take the In the Phoenix Open a PGA staple since the 1930s has for decades been referred to as the greatest show on grass it’s an immensely popular tournament where golf’s buttoned up prim and proper etiquette does not apply and like many modern-day golf Traditions it was shaped in part by Tiger Woods though the TPC

Scottsdale was already golf’s most rocket course by the time tiger burst onto the scene a young Woods solidified that reputation with his Brilliance in 1997 that year tiger drilled his first PGA hole-in one on the course’s Fame 16th hole and the crowd saluted the young Star by showering him with empty

Beer cups since the 16th at TPC Scottsdale has become one of the most electrifying holes in all of golf and the Phoenix Open which since 2010 has been sponsored by Waste Management Inc has only gotten more popular and more drunk in 201 18 the last year that the tournament recorded attendance numbers

The Waste Management Open set a PGA record with 720,000 visitors along the way they also set a single day attendance record with 217,000 Spectators and boy do those crowds like to put him back in fact in recent years the Scottsdale Police started operating voluntary breathalizer stations at the tournament in an attempt

To crack down on potential DUIs additionally the corporate boxes that come with open bars recently imp implemented a 10 drink limit per person bottom line drinking is a huge part of the experience at the Waste Management Open and even the players themselves have been known to get caught up in the

Frat party-like atmosphere just check out this footage from the 2022 Phoenix [Applause] Open it’s a scene man the thing is this year’s tournament was by all accounts over the top I’m talking off the rails where to start I mean there were fights breaking out in the stands kick in

The there were fans getting too wasted to stand there were shirtless fans doing mudslides and who could forget the snow angel in the sand Trap I think one time European tour champ Ben Anne put it best calling the attorney a [ __ ] show and saying it was totally out of control on on every hole in fact the crowd got so large and so out of hand that the tournament suspended alcohol sales and stopped

Admitting folks with tickets during Saturday’s thirdd round those decisions it goes without saying were not received well and by Sunday more than a few players had had enough of the madness including Billy hallw buddy when he’s open a shot shut the [ __ ] up man come on

H a damn golf shot here [ __ ] job and Zach Johnson oh don’t don’t Ser me somebody said it I’m I’m just sick of it just shut up by the time Nick Taylor defeated Charlie Hoffman in a playoff for the championship the 2024 Waste Management Open had cemented its place

In history as arguably the most unhinged PGA tournament ever and in the wake of this year’s unprecedented debauchery it feels like the so-called people’s open has gone from delightfully boisterous to downright problematic Johnson for one said he wasn’t sure if he played play in the tournament next year while horel

Suggested that the escalating rambunctiousness could end up alienating players on mass obviously a potential boycott of the Phoenix Open which isn’t a signature event and therefore doesn’t require the tour’s top players to participate would be a big problem for the PGA it’s worth noting that Rory mooy

For instance didn’t play in this year’s tournament at the end of the day though the Waste Management Open is a monster of the pga’s own creation they’ve cultivated this unruly Atmosphere by selling too many tickets clearly over serving their fans and then celebrating the ensuing Madness on their social

Media platforms and for the sake of the players the fans and the tournament itself which in 2022 injected more than $450 million into the Arizona economy by the way it would probably behoove the PGA to tighten things up a bit at TPC Scottdale
