WM Phoenix Open 2023: Savoring the Sweet Side of Golf
As if the picturesque setting of TPC Scottsdale wasn’t enough, the WM Phoenix Open has upped the ante this year by introducing a special-edition ice cream flavor. Yes, you heard that right—ice cream is officially stepping into the limelight at a PGA Tour event!
A Treat to Remember: WMPO Green Dream
With blue skies and temperatures flirting with the seventies, the WM Phoenix Open debuted the “WMPO Green Dream,” a concoction so delightful it could almost distract you from those tense putts. The mint ice cream, generously loaded with chocolate chips and pretzels, is not just a refreshing treat; it’s also a nod to sustainability, as it’s served in compostable cups.
“I had two scoops on Media Day, despite the chilly winds. It was that good!”
The vibrant green and yellow candy toppings add the perfect visual flourish, especially when watching your favorite players tackle Scottsdale’s 16th—the most notorious hole in golf.
A Family Affair: Treat Everyone!
While the WM Phoenix Open often garners attention for adult beverages, the Green Dream is an all-ages delight. And let’s be honest, it’s the kind of treat that could make even a four-putt feel like a win!
The flavor rollout isn’t just about keeping fans cool; 20% of the sales from these ice cream scoops will support the WM Phoenix Open’s Working For Tomorrow Fund, collaborating with local organizations like Waste Not. If you’re enjoying a sweet treat while supporting sustainability, can you really have a bad day?
Why the WM Phoenix Open is a Must-Attend Event
For those new to golf or perhaps weary of the traditional tournament experience, the WM Phoenix Open offers a festive atmosphere that’s quite unique. Known for being the "loudest" event on the PGA Tour, the 16th hole… well, let’s just say, it turns into something more akin to a concert than a golf tournament at times.
“How TPC Scottsdale’s 16th hole became the wildest place in golf,” writes Josh Sens.
This lively spirit makes it accessible not just for diehard fans but also for families looking to enjoy a day out.
Closing Thoughts
So, whether you’re grabbing a scoop of the “WMPO Green Dream” at the Fan Zone or settling in to watch your favorite pro take on the challenges of the desert, this year’s WM Phoenix Open embodies the spirit of golf in 2023—where sport meets family fun and sustainability meets indulgence.
Grab your clubs, scoop up a cone, and get ready for a week of unparalleled excitement on tour. And remember, the only thing sweeter than that creamy mint goodness is watching your favorite player sink that birdie putt!
