The WM Phoenix Open has announced a 'zero tolerance' policy against the unruly behavior of the fans for the 2025 edition of the tournament. The PGA Tour event was in the headlines in 2024 after a video of fans drinking too much on the greens on the internet went viral.
The WM Phoenix Open has recently announced a few changes in its policy to avoid this next year. They have implemented a 'zero tolerance' policy. Speaking of the changes, the tournament director Matt Mooney said (via Golf Week):
"Our general admission fans will have to click on a code of conduct acknowledgment and we’re going to have a zero-tolerance policy for people that cross those procedures. Unfortunately, there’s a small segment of our society that wants to create these viral moments and it’s to the detriment of the event, the detriment of the other fans and most importantly the athletes themselves.

“We always have a heavy PD [police department] presence, they’re going to be very visible this year, and if fans cross that line they will get removed from the golf tournament," he added.
In addition to that, the officials have also announced a new entrance near the 18th tee hole. However, the main entrance remains the same. The 2025 WM Phoenix Open will take place from February 3 to 9.
When PGA Tour pro yelled at fans at the WM Phoenix Open 2024
During the 2024 WM Phoenix Open, an incident involving PGA Tour pro Zach Johnson caught people's attention on the internet. The American golfer made the cut in the tournament, and during the third round, he lost his temper and yelled at fans to "shut up." He said:
"Somebody said it, I’m just sick of it. Just shut up."
The 2024 WM Phoenix Open was held at the TPC Scottsdale golf course from February 8 to 11, 2024. The four-day event concluded with Nick Taylor registering a win in the game.
After the four rounds, Taylor finished in a tie for the lead with Charley Hoffman, and they competed in a playoff to determine the winner. Both carded a birdie on the first hole of the playoff and the Canadian golfer shot a birdie on the second to register the win.
Zach Johnson finished in T60. Scottie Scheffler also played in the event in 2024 and recorded an impressive finish in a tie for third place with Sam Burns. He shot four rounds of 68, 66, 66, and 66 to secure the position on the leaderboard.
Meanwhile, Sahith Theegala, who was in the lead after the third round, slipped down to secure fourth position after shooting 69 in the finale and tied for solo fifth place.
