Course Overview
TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course is the raucous home of the WM Phoenix Open, the most-attended event in golf with crowds regularly exceeding 700,000 for the week. The course itself plays somewhat shorter than its yardage due to the desert altitude and hard, fast playing conditions typical of the Arizona climate. TPC Scottsdale is notably a putting course — the greens are large, smooth, and receptive, rewarding golfers who can convert birdie opportunities. The par-71 layout includes several birdie-friendly holes where scoring is expected, making hot putting streaks more valuable than at tougher, more penalizing venues. The iconic stadium-seating par-3 16th hole is the most famous party hole in golf, where 20,000 fans create a football-like atmosphere. For DFS purposes, putting is the most important stat at TPC Scottsdale, making it a prime week for targeting golfers who are in great putting form.
