Waste Management Phoenix Open Tees Off With Pandemic Adjustments

The Waste Management Phoenix Open begins Thursday at TPC Scottsdale. The four-day PGA tournament typically attracts upwards of a quarter million spectators each year, but this year organizers are paring it down for COVID-19 precautions. Only a few thousand fans will be allowed in on a daily basis.

That means the course’s legendary 16th hole will be a little less raucous than usual — the par three party has become legendary both on the PGA tour and in party circles. 

The Show spoke with Brian Wacker, a writer with Golf Digest, for more about what he deems "the wildest hole in golf."
