The Phoenix Open 2026 Fan Guide: Parking, Tickets & Viewing Tips
Dubbed The People’s Open, the WM Phoenix Open 2026 will turn TPC Scottsdale into an energized place with huge crowds of people flocking to the course to see PGA Tour stars compete on the Stadium Course between February 2-8. It has a notorious 16 th hole coliseum, zero waste plans, and Coors Light Birds Nest concerts with Nelly and Ludacris, which historically earned this event more than 208 million dollars in charity. On Saturday, fans gather around pro-ams, Shot at Glory events, and Green Out day. Purchase Phoenix Open 2026 tickets early through official platforms, avoid parking hassles through shuttles, and have the best viewing opportunities at holes 16-18 to have the best vibe. Anticipate 700,000 or so in the Scottsdale desert.
Parking Strategies
Parking at TPC Scottsdale is not a slow process; you must get to the parking area before 7 am to secure general lots off Indian Bend Rd. Premium parking option (priced at $50 plus or so) will guarantee you a closer parking spot, though you can bypass traffic jams once you catch a ride at Phoenix Sky Harbor (30-minute drive). The ride to Scottsdale Stadium costs between 10 and 20 roundtrip, which is best when the Birds Nest has after-parties.
Ticket Buying Guide
Grounds tickets begin at 85 Thursday-Sunday; Skybox tickets in the 16 th hole reach 671 with open bars. Beat scalawags by purchasing through wmphoenixopen.com–Pro-Am Wednesday, 150. VIP Members Club gives food vouchers at hole 6/17.
Prime Viewing Spots
Hole 16’s towering grandstands roar for par-3 drama; hit 17 Skybar for upscale eats. Walk hole 18 for finishes, but Friday/Saturday peak party mode. Green Out donates per green outfit.
