Phoenix Open Breaks Single-Day PGA Tour Attendance Record

2.4.2018

The PGA Tour Waste Management Phoenix Open yesterday "set a single-day attendance record, with 216,818 fans, making it the largest crowd to ever watch a golf event." The "previous record for single-day attendance" at TPC Scottsdale was 204,906 fans on Saturday last year. Yesterday's crowd also "brought the tournament total attendance to 654,906," with today still to play. Last year's total attendance was 655,434, which made it the "most attended" PGA Tour event in history (AZCENTRAL.com, 2/3). While the crowds today are "expected to thin somewhat," the Phoenix Open has had "at least 50,000 fans on the final day every year" since '11 (GOLFCHANNEL.com, 2/3).
