WM Phoenix Open Named PGA TOUR’s 2025 “Event of the Year”: A Celebration of Energy, Atmosphere, and One of the Most Unique Environments in Sports

The PGA TOUR has named the WM Phoenix Open its 2025 “Event of the Year,” marking the sixth time the tournament has earned this honor. Anyone who has been to TPC Scottsdale during tournament week understands why. The People’s Open delivers a blend of world class golf, festival atmosphere, and community tradition that is unmatched anywhere else in professional sports.

From the first tee shot to the final roar at 16, the tournament creates an energy that has to be experienced in person.

InProduction is proud to support this iconic week with temporary seating and hospitality structures that help shape one of the most electric environments in the game.

A One of a Kind Environment in Golf and Professional Sports

What sets the WM Phoenix Open apart is its atmosphere. The event feels bigger than a tournament. It feels alive.

Fans fill the course with energy, creating a setting that is welcoming, loud, and completely unique. Nowhere is that more evident than at the 16th hole. Often called the most famous hole in golf, the stadium setting delivers excitement unlike anything else in the sport. Its intensity, anticipation, and celebration create a moment that players and fans remember long after they leave Scottsdale.

The 16th hole is more than a location. It is the heartbeat of the week, and a large part of why the WM Phoenix Open has become a must attend event and a defining moment on the PGA TOUR calendar.

Leadership in Sustainability and Community Impact

The WM Phoenix Open continues to serve as one of the world’s largest certified zero waste sporting events. Materials are diverted from landfills through recycling, composting, donation, reuse, and innovative energy recovery processes.

In 2025, the WM Phoenix Open Working For Tomorrow Fund supported more than 420,000 dollars in Arizona based projects that advance greenhouse gas reduction, sustainable materials management, and water management.

The tournament also maintains a strong focus on charitable impact, with The Thunderbirds and WM working year round to support the community.

Partnering with an event that values sustainability, innovation, and giving back is meaningful for InProduction. Our modular systems are designed for repeated use across seasons and events, reducing waste while delivering flexibility and reliability for partners.

Infrastructure That Supports the Experience

InProduction’s role is simple. Build safe, scalable seating and hospitality environments that match the ambition and energy of The People’s Open. Our teams work closely with partners to create spaces that help fans feel closer to the moment, whether they are in high energy general admission zones or premium hospitality settings.

Behind every incredible spectator moment is an operational foundation that must perform consistently. We are proud to contribute to that foundation each year.

The WM Phoenix Open is recognized around the world as one of golf’s most iconic and fan friendly events. This award reflects the passion and hard work of The Thunderbirds, WM, the PGA TOUR, and the thousands of staff and volunteers who create the experience.
