2023 WM Phoenix Open

The WM Phoenix Open (WMPO), part of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup, returns to Scottsdale February 9th-12th, 2023! Known as both the “Greenest Show on Grass” for its sustainability efforts (it’s the world’s largest zero-waste event) and as “The People’s Open”. The tournament annually brings golf’s biggest names to TPC Scottsdale for the PGA Tour’s best-attended event.

The tournament consistently ranks among the best things to do in Greater Phoenix and, in past years, has drawn upwards of 600,000 fans to its mix of golf, unique photo ops, viewing experiences, and after-hours entertainment!

What to know before you go:

Breakfast Club- Each year, thousands of fans line up outside the course’s main gate as early as 4:30 a.m. on Saturday morning for the best possible seats at the 16th hole — and you’re welcome to join them. Fondly referred to as the Breakfast Club, event organizers greet these early risers with breakfast burritos, beverages, music, and live DJs. Since the first golf shot doesn’t take place until somewhere between 9:30 and 10 a.m., think of it as the Black Friday experience of the golf world. Why not check that off your bucket list, too?
Autographs & Photos- Player autographs can only be obtained at designated Autograph Zones. On competition days, no standalone photo or video cameras are allowed other than mobile devices. Photo and video cameras can be used on practice days only.
Attire- Golf isn’t the only spectator sport at this event. Here, almost anything goes on the fashion front. While golf gear is recommended – polos, sundresses, and comfortable shoes – you’re likely to see everything from high-end fashion (yes, even heels) to group costumes! Extra note: Fans are encouraged to wear green in support of the tournament’s green/eco-sensitive efforts in an “All-Day Green Out” on Saturday. There are also shops throughout the course where you can pick up a souvenir hat, shirt, and more!
