All the holes-in-one at the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale is one of the most exciting spots at one of the most anticipated events on the PGA tour.
The WM Phoenix Open was first played at the Stadium Course in 1987. Over the 38 years, there have been roughly 15,000 tee shots fired during tournament golf at the 140-or-so-yard hole. Yet there has been only 11 holes-in-one.
Yep, just 11.
The first happened in 1988. The latest was the final round of 2022.
The breakdown by round is:
first round: one
second round: one
third round: seven
final round: two
There have been two aces in the same week three different times: 1990, 1997 and 2022. There has never been two aces at 16 in the same round. A lefty has never made an ace there.
Tiger Woods, of course, has the most famous ace on the hole.
"They're gonna go nuts when he hits this thing."
In honor of his 47th birthday, relive 21-year-old @TigerWoods' electric hole-in-one at the 1997 @WMPhoenixOpen. 🔥
