Long established as both a local and national staple on the sports calendar, the WM Phoenix Open blends elite golf with entertainment and pop culture.

Booker even leaned into the multi-sport spirit of the day, attending the event while wearing a Detroit Lions jersey — a fitting nod as Super Bowl LX coincided with the final round of the Open.
The blend of athletes, celebrities and fans continues to showcase why “The People’s Open” has earned its reputation as one of the most anticipated events of the year.
