Construction crews began building out TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course for the 2027 WM Phoenix Open on Sept. 9, kicking off a build-out that takes more than four months to complete before tournament week in February.
What's being built first at TPC Scottsdale?
The Cove, a suite area along the 17th hole, was the first section to see crews, followed by work on the par-3 16th hole starting Sept. 14. By late September, construction activity spans the entire Stadium Course. Tournament officials have not released attendance figures in nearly a decade, but Friday and Saturday crowds are known to swell past 150,000, with much of that total packed around the closing three holes.
What's new for the 2027 tournament?
The Patriots Outpost, the 18th-hole hospitality area offering free admission to military members, is doubling in size with a new second level. Near the 16th hole, the 16th Hole Plaza is adding trees, more space for fans and additional concessions. Ticketing is also changing: a three-year phase-in to fully digital tickets is complete, covering general admission, hospitality and suites such as Bay Club and the "16" club alike.
TPC Scottsdale's build-out is the biggest infrastructure project in golf, taking longer than four months to construct.
