WM Phoenix Open Transport Tips

Blog article — planning your Phoenix event

The Greatest Show on Grass

The Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale is the best-attended golf tournament in the world, and it's not even close. Drawing over 700,000 fans across the week, the "People's Open" is as much a party as it is a sporting event — especially at the legendary 16th hole, where the atmosphere rivals a college football stadium.

But getting to TPC Scottsdale during the Phoenix Open is a nightmare. Traffic backs up for miles. Parking lots fill up early, and remote parking with shuttle buses means long waits and cramped rides. Rideshare drop-off zones are chaotic, and surge pricing can hit $80+ per ride.

Therefore, the savviest Phoenix Open groups skip the hassle entirely with a party bus. Here's how to make the most of your WM Phoenix Open transportation.

Golf tournament atmosphere at TPC Scottsdale

Fun Fact

The WM Phoenix Open's 16th hole is the loudest venue in all of golf. The par-3, stadium-style hole holds over 20,000 fans who cheer, boo, and celebrate every shot. In 2024, the total tournament attendance exceeded 750,000 — more than any other golf event on the planet.

Why a Party Bus Is the Move

  • Skip the parking chaos — your driver drops you at the gate and picks you up when you're done
  • Pre-game on the bus with music, drinks, and your crew — the party starts before you arrive
  • No surge pricing or rideshare waits at the end of the day
  • Keep your group together all day — no splitting up in traffic
  • Coolers and wet bars mean you're stocked for the ride home too
  • Post-tournament, hit Scottsdale's nightlife on the same rental

Logistics & Timing Tips

  • Saturday is the biggest day: The Saturday round draws 200,000+ fans. Book early — this is our busiest single day of the year.
  • Thursday/Friday offer a more relaxed experience with smaller crowds and easier transportation.
  • Plan for a 6–8 hour rental: Allow time for the drive, arrival, the event itself, and the ride home.
  • Bus staging: TPC Scottsdale has designated bus drop-off and pick-up zones. Our drivers know the exact locations and timing.
  • Combine with nightlife: Many groups attend the tournament during the day and hit Scottsdale bars afterward — all on the same party bus rental.

What to Bring

  • Sunscreen and sunglasses — Arizona sun is no joke even in February
  • Cash for concessions and merchandise
  • Comfortable walking shoes — TPC Scottsdale is a big course
  • A jacket for late afternoon — temps can drop into the 50s°F after sunset
  • Your own drinks for the bus ride (21+, BYOB welcome)

Fun Fact

The WM Phoenix Open generates over $14 million annually for Arizona charities, making it the most charitable golf event in the world. Since its inception, the tournament has raised more than $200 million for local nonprofits. Check wmphoenixopen.com for the latest schedule and ticket information.

Corporate Groups at the Phoenix Open

The WM Phoenix Open is one of the most popular corporate entertainment events in Phoenix. Impress clients and reward employees with VIP party bus transportation — it sets the tone for the entire experience. Our coach buses are also popular for larger corporate groups, offering Wi-Fi and charging for those who need to work on the ride.

The 20-passenger party bus is the sweet spot for most groups — enough room for your crew with a dance floor, wet bar, and sound system to keep the tailgate energy going. For larger corporate groups, the 45-passenger coach offers comfort and Wi-Fi for the ride.
