Arr, me hearties! Aye, some mighty changes be afoot at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, after a weekend o' absolute mayhem, where ye fans were denied entry to the very golf course on a fine Saturday. Shiver me timbers!
Golf fans who attend the Waste Management Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Arizona, have come to expect a wild and rowdy party atmosphere. However, after a chaotic weekend filled with overcrowding and unruly fans, changes are on the horizon for the popular tournament. Heavy rainfall in the area led to deteriorating course conditions, causing the organizers to suspend admission and alcohol sales on Saturday afternoon. Chance Cozby, the executive director of The Thunderbirds, the group behind the event, acknowledged the need for changes and a reevaluation of their operations. Cozby stated that they spent several hours brainstorming the next steps and are determined to make improvements. They plan to implement a complete operational change in how they manage the event, particularly on Friday and Saturday. Cozby emphasized that they want to address the concerns raised by players and fans and make the event better in the future. The organizers are considering various measures, including reviewing ticket exposure and security plans. Additionally, the tournament saw incidents involving golfers snapping back at fans during the final round on Sunday. Zach Johnson and Billy Horschel both responded firmly to disruptive behavior from spectators. In light of these recent events, the Thunderbirds organization views the 2024 Phoenix Open as a turning point and an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and make significant improvements to the tournament and its overall organization.
