What to Wear to the WM Phoenix Open: From the Coliseum to the Clubhouse

 

Sandhya Garg · Scottsdale, Arizona

The WM Phoenix Open

February 11–14, 2027 · TPC Scottsdale · The Coliseum to the Clubhouse

Quick Answer

February 11–14, 2027, at TPC Scottsdale. Wear flat shoes, because you'll walk miles on grass and hills. Dress in layers for a cold desert morning and a warm afternoon. Carry a compact bag and wear a cap or medium-brim hat, not an oversized one. In hospitality areas, a polished midi or maxi with sneakers or flat sandals is the look.

The Phoenix Open is not a typical golf tournament. It's the biggest party in Scottsdale every February, and the crowd around the 16th hole treats it like one.

Our studio is in Scottsdale, so we see this one up close. Here's the practical part first, then what to wear depending on where you'll spend the day.

The Practical Part First

The 2027 tournament runs February 11–14 at TPC Scottsdale. It's famous for the 16th hole, nicknamed "the Coliseum," whose grandstands seat 16,000 to 20,000 fans. In 2018 a record 216,818 fans came on the Saturday alone. That means crowds, queues and a lot of walking.

Grass and hills

Flat Shoes

Sneakers or flat sandals. AZ Big Media advises avoiding heels, which are impractical on long walks and steep hills.

Cool morning, warm afternoon

Layers

A jacket you can carry by noon. Desert mornings in February are cold.

Easy to carry

Small Bag

A compact crossbody. Large bags are hard to manage in the crowds.

All day outdoors

Sun Protection

Sunglasses and a cap or medium-brim hat. Oversized hats block people behind you.

The Phoenix Open is a walking event. Wear flat shoes and dress up everything else.
