shirtless celebration Celebrating a nice shot truly cheers up the entire crowd But at Waste Management things are always crazy especially on the 16th hole Joel Domen and Harry Higgs are two of the most hilarious golfers ever and you probably saw them in action during the 2022 tournament The night before the tournament Diamond boldly tweeted a promise that Higs would take off his shirt at the 16th hole A promise is a promise And as soon as Higs drained a par putt on Sunday he immediately lifted his shirt and flashed it in front of thousands of people The fans erupted in cheers and threw their beer cans on the fairway But as soon as everything settled down Diamond the one behind this entire scheme also joined in by taking off his own shirt followed by Higs once again This time the crowd just went absolutely crazy making it a memorable moment in Waste Management Open history If you think this is crazy wait till you see the next maniac on our list Number nine Streer on a rampage The 2023 Waste Management Phoenix Open delivered one of the most unforgettable moments in golf history And it’s all thanks to one guy This streaker who showed up at the 16th hole wearing nothing but his speedo and sunglasses He made his entrance on the fairway during the second round and began dancing with the flag stick Then he went on to cheer the crowd filling the entire golf course with laughter The security guards were frustrated and tried to chase him but that just added more fuel to the drama as the streaker ran across the fairway and escaped the authorities by diving into a water hazard He then swam in that pond for a while before finally returning to the green and getting arrested Well that was surely entertaining and the speedo guy must be banned from these tournaments But there’s no doubt this legend will be remembered just like the next guy who did something totally wild Number eight man swims across the water hazard and gets arrested Here’s yet another bizarre clip in which a man is seen swimming across the water at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in Scottsdale You can see how the cops arrive at the spot to arrest the maniac in their vehicles As soon as he gets back on the green he’s detained and brought into handcuffs They then make him sit in the passenger seat and take him out of the golf course In fact here’s another example of crazy golf fans Number seven beer everywhere The atmosphere when Sam Ryder aced the 16th hole at the Waste Management Phoenix Open was totally unexplainable It happened in February 2022 when Ryder was playing alongside Chris Kirk and Brian Harmon It was his turn and he stepped to make a perfectly angled tea The shot landed straight into the cup The ace made everyone get off their seats and cheer and joy Even Ryder was in complete shock The beer cups flew everywhere spraying everyone including the commentators It’s said that it took 15 minutes just to clear out the fairway and continue playing Ryder celebrated his amazing achievement with his family playing partners and caddies making it one of the most memorable and wildest golf moments ever Cheering for golfers is one thing but have you ever seen the crowd cheering for the caddies Well that’s something you only get to see at Waste Management Number six caddyy races The caddy races that took place at the 16th hole were truly one of a kind This was one of those moments for which thousands would eagerly wait to happen This was the time when caddies were in the spotlight as they walked towards the green as soon as the players hit their T-shots The caddies would sprint toward the green while carrying a heavy bag of clubs making a dash to be the first to reach it Well some caddies would even suffer a dramatic fall during these races It was like a mini marathon with drunk fans screaming and betting on which caddy would win Unfortunately this tradition was eventually banned to avoid any injuries to the caddies But those who witnessed it live know how exciting it was Enjoying watching these golf moments Then why hit the like and subscribe button to see similar content in the future Number five Tiger Woods Hole-in-One Tiger Woods is an absolute legend but 1997 was the year when the entire world realized how skilled a player he actually is It was once again the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale during the WM Phoenix Open When Wood’s T-shot landed straight into the hole making it an ace just like the one Ryder made decades later the crowd went wild And even Woods celebrated his achievement by high-fiving his caddies and fellow players It was a true aura moment that would define his reputation later on in the future These are those moments when true emotions come out But the incident I’m about to show you next is truly inspiring for every golf fan Number four Ricky Fowler’s emotional win Ricky Fowler’s incredible win at the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open was an emotional roller coaster It was a wild game with so many dramatic turns that no thriller movie could ever give you Fowler started off with a remarkable five shot lead but from this point onwards his situation started to go sideways As on the par 4 11th hole he chipped his third shot into the water This led him to take a penalty drop but soon after the drop Fowler got up to analyze his position Little did he know that his ball would automatically roll back into the hazard Thanks to this bizarre incident he made a triple bogey seven And from being in the lead he was now down to just one stroke over Braden Grace But this incident didn’t make him lose his cool He stayed resilient and even after bogeying the next hole he managed to regain his lead thanks to the birdies on the 15th and 17th holes Finally after a long match he was able to secure his victory with a two-shot win over Grace shooting a final round 74 the highest by a winner in tournament history It was an emotional victory marking his fifth PJ tour title and his first in two years A true comeback Number three Mudsliders The Waste Management Phoenix Open is not only known for its remarkable aces and streakers but also for its insane environment especially after rain The area around the fairway is muddy and after getting wet it becomes extremely slippery But is that a bad thing I guess not because all the fans really enjoy such situations After all they’re very drunk and need any reason to have fun They start engaging in mudsliding and even make a bet on it This makes it more of a mud festival than a golf game I wonder how they even got back home covered all in mud They are truly crazy people but still not as crazy as the ones next on the list Number two crazy fans As I just said the Waste Management Open isn’t just a game of golf It’s total chaos or should I say a festival that brings the entire golf community together The fans are so crazy that just to get the best seats to watch the game they come there before the sun even rises They all gather up before opening time and make a very long line Once the gates are finally open all the fans race to get inside Some even record their experience like they’re in a marathon We already know what they do once they get their seats eat drink fight each other and be as loud as possible Now that’s an exciting yet chaotic experience isn’t it And this next moment is what causes such chaotic moments Number one excellent save Recently during the final round of the 2025 WM Phoenix Open Jordan speed found himself in quite a tight spot It happened when his T-shot landed way off course ending up on the right side of a bush To make matters worse there are a ton of obstacles other than the bush making the next shot pretty hard for Speak But this doesn’t stop him After discussing this with his caddy Michael Growler he decides to use his putter to escape this sticky situation It seemed quite an impossible shot but magically he hit his second shot lefty with a putter to escape and he actually accomplished it This was truly remarkable It allowed him to make another 128-y third shot from the waist area concluding with a par putt If you enjoyed these wild incidents in Waste
