Always a fun one to watch.
 
Wish they still let the pro's throw stuff into the crowd. I understand the liability, but if you're too drunk to catch something, that's on you!
 
This is always a fun one to watch!!
 
I would not be surprised if Rahm continues his strong play from Torrey this week in Scottsdale. It's always fun to watch this tournament. I also like the 17th hole as a very drivable par 4 with a uniquely shaped green that makes pin placement interesting for the players.
 
WASTED MANAGEMENT WOOOOOO!

What's your favorite part of this event.

I loved the Gary Woodland Amy Bockerstette video the Tour did last year. All.The.Feels.
 
On my bucket list of tournaments to attend. First would be Augusta and then this because of the arena style par 3. It looks like an absolute blast!

I like how the players who embrace the crowd feed off of them and others don't seem as comfortable. Rickie tends to love the crowd and I enjoy seeing him get them riled up!

That was an incredible video and story. Gary seemed like he really cared and enjoyed the experience. Amy also seemed like she had a great time. I like the stadium aspect. Love when people wear different Jerseys out on 16 and get the crowd involved. Maybe we will see some Kobe Jerseys!

Big fan of the jerseys, definitely fun to see them embrace it. I do wish they brought back the caddie races though.
 
Heading up on Sat cannot wait to go!
 
I had dinner with friends in Charlotte who are flying out for the tournament. They are so pumped.

Totally agree. Need caddie races again!! Need jersey's, need throwing stuff into the crowd, and need more fun stories like last season with Woodland and Amy!
 
Always have to love watching 16, but also 17 and 18!
 
Love watching this event, rooting for one of the young guys given the party atmosphere.
 
One of, if not my favorite rounds of golf was on this course a couple of weeks before the tournament; the course was closed and my friend who was CPA of the course at the time took me out and we played from the pro tees. Fantastic!
 
This one is fun, because you see the pros get to have a little fun out there.

The Woodland piece last year made things a little dusty, and also made him my wife's new favorite golfer.
 
Awesome tourney. Who's peoples top picks? I like RIcky and Mad Scientist.
