What is special about the 2024 WM Phoenix Open’s $24,000 tickets? All you need to know 

The priciest seats at the 16th hole of the TPC Scottsdale during the WM Phoenix Open will cost a whopping $24,000. The seats are located just a foot away from the tee box of the players for three of the four rounds, giving an unbelievable watching experience for the golf fans.

While the grandstand of the 16th hole of the TPC Scottsdale has a total of 16,000 seats, only 40 of these are the premium 'teeside' seats, which provide the best view of the most iconic hole of the Stadium course.

The WM Phoenix Open moved to the TPC Scottsdale in 1987, but it was 10 years later that the par-3, 16th hole, became iconic and formed a new legacy.

During the third round of the event, a crowd erupted into a roar when Tiger Woods arrived on the 16th hole, and it took a couple of minutes to keep them quiet. Then Woods ended up sinking an ace on the hole, which made the crowd go insane and the roar went out of control.

Earlier this week, Max Homa also credited the 15-time major champion for solidifying the legacy of the 16th hole.

He was quoted as saying via the PGA Tour:

"As most things in professional golf, Tiger Woods’ hole-in-one on 16 feels like a pretty good jumping-off point. It was already crazy, but I feel like everybody wanted to be in that."

Overall, Carlos Ortiz (2022), Sam Ryder (2022), Francisco Molinari (2015), Jarrod Lyle (2011), Mike Sposa (2002), Steve Stricker (1997), Tiger Woods (1997), Jay Delsing (1991), Brad Bryant (1990), David Edwards (1990), and Hal Sutton (1988) are the eleven players who have made an ace on the sixteenth hole of the Stadium Course.
