Amanda Balionis takes a friendly jibe at The Office sitcom star after their reunion at the WM Phoenix Open

Amanda Balionis took a friendly jibe at ‘The Office’ sitcom star Brian Baumgartner, who was present at the 2025 WM Phoenix Open. Baumgartner played the character of Kevin Malone in the US sitcom. Balionis joined him at last week’s PGA Tour event.

Following the tournament, Balionis shared a few pictures of the WM Phoenix Open moments on her Instagram. One photo showed her sharing the frame with Brian Baumgartner and Charley Hoffman.

In the collection of pictures, one also showed Balionis taking a shot on the greens. Along with the post, she wrote a caption:

“All green everything at the Greenest Show on Grass ⛳️💚 A special thank you to @wastemanagement and the Thunderbirds for an amazing @wmphoenixopen. What you all do for the community and environment is incredible. Already counting down the days until the next one.”

Balionis reshared the same post on her Instagram story and wrote a caption to take a playful jab at the actor. She wrote:

“Best week, best crew. Hey @bbbaumgartner remember the time I beat you (in heels) in closest to the pin?”

Dixon’s PSA for the ladies on her Instagram handle to alert women of the on-course injuries caused by not wearing the right footwear.

“A *statement* victory for Thomas Detry! What a stage to win on, and to do it by seven shots is insane. The @wmphoenixopen never disappoints in producing big time winners. Watching Detry get his first PGA TOUR win with his family and friends celebrating right next to him is incredibly special and we also know this is just the beginning for the talented Belgium.
