The Waste Management Open is one of my favorite tournaments to watch throughout the PGA Tour season. Even though this tournament lacks the prowess and history of other tournaments; it certainly makes up for it with its creativity.

The tournament takes place in Scottsdale, Arizona at the TPC Scottsdale stadium course. Needing the warm weather, Arizona provides a nice desert environment and climate for a late winter tournament.

The tournament does not require a high level of skill from the players, rather this week is more about how much fun you can have while playing in a professional event.

The first element of the tournament is the low scoring the course allows. As we saw this year in the first round when Phil Mickelson had a putt for 59.

The second and third elements that set this tournament apart take place because of the 16^th hole at the Stadium Course.

As you can see, this plain par 3 is surrounded by bleachers. Varying around 162 yards in length, this par 3 gives the professionals a chance to aim at the pin and shoot for a hole-in-one. With drunk crowds in the thousands, there is no other environment like it during the PGA Tour season.

The 16^th hole at TPC Scottsdale is also home to another young tradition. Caddy Races. Giving the fans a chance to bet on which caddies will reach the green first.

The combination of the thousands of fans, pin seeking shots, and flying caddies is what makes the 16^th the rowdiest hole in golf and what makes the Waste Management open one of a kind.
