The Pga Tour also passed through Phoenix, where during the Wasted Management Open the athletes on the green were not the stars, but the fans. In fact, the American supporters filled the stands of the facility, even surpassing the number of seats. What remains of the week of competitions is not very flattering for the organizers, nor for the stars and stripes supporters who vented as they could. According to the Mirror, in fact, there were as many as 54 arrests in a week, with as many as 211 fans removed from the playing field and 73 kicked out for invading the field.

What happened
Total chaos at the event, as demonstrated by the many videos present on social networks, especially on X where many have documented the delirium. From half-naked men diving from the golf course hills, to girls trying to drink beer poured from the stands. The person responsible for these behaviors well above the line was identified in the alcohol which was banned after a few days. The organizers decided to ban the sale of alcoholic beverages, also prohibiting entry to food brought from outside. However, this did not stop the supporters from invading the field, lying down in the sand pits, or disturbing the competing athletes who experienced a real test of their nerves.
Billy Horschel and Zach Johnson found themselves having to argue with some of them who did not respect the required silence. After the event closed, Chance Cozby, one of the organizers, stated that changes will be made for next year.
