WM Phoenix Open 2024 was a full “you had to be there” week. ⛳️🌧️🥶

It started with a cold snap and steady rain that turned TPC Scottsdale into a straight-up mud course. Not “a little sloppy” either, more like every step was survival and the usual walking paths and hills turned into slick bottlenecks. Add in delays and schedule weirdness, and you could feel the whole week getting tense before the weekend even arrived.

Then the weather finally opened up… and it felt like everyone with flex tickets or a week-long plan waited for that window and all showed up at once. The crowds didn’t just get big, they got compressed. The kind of packed where you can’t move, the entrances jam up, and the energy gets louder by the minute.

And that’s when it crossed into a different category: gates closed to new admissions because it was too full, and alcohol sales got suspended at most locations to try to calm the scene down. That’s not a normal golf tournament moment.

So yeah, WM 2024 wasn’t just rowdy.
It was weather chaos + mud survival + crowd overload + “okay we need to reset” levels of madness… all in one week.

If you were there, you don’t need highlights. You’ve already got flashbacks. 😅🏟️🍻🚫
