He said (via Golf Week):"Our general admission fans will have to click on a code of conduct acknowledgment and we’re going to have a zero-tolerance policy for people that cross those procedures. Unfortunately, there’s a small segment of our society that wants to create these viral moments and it’s to the detriment of the event, the detriment of the other fans and most importantly the athletes themselves."He further highlighted the high security that would be there next year, saying:“We always have a heavy PD [police department] presence, they’re going to be very visible this year, and if fans cross that line they will get removed from the golf tournament.”The WM Phoenix Open is a regular PGA Tour event, which usually takes place in February. This year, Nick Taylor, who was the runner-up in 2023, defeated Charley Hoffman in a playoff to win the event.
