The Waste Management Phoenix Open may be the loudest tournament on the annual PGA schedule. The exhilarating par 3, 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale has become an iconic episode on the tour each season.

For the only time in golf, the players step into the kingdom ruled by the gallery. Spectators determine who will escape unscathed. If you miss the green fans rain down boo’s on you, if you birdie they cherish you. You don’t own them. They own you. They’re not in your world, you’re in theirs.

The 16th hole faithful have built something of their own over the years, a three-tier coliseum enclosing the hole in entirety. The voltaic atmosphere creates a feeling like no other in the game of golf. It’s make or break when you step into the “greatest show on grass.”

Without a doubt there have been many moments of hostility after numerous times players have missed greens and plugged bunkers, but let’s look at the moments that will forever echo in infamy.
