Odds Favor Hole-in-One at TPC Scottsdale's Iconic 16th Hole

The WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale is renowned for its electrifying atmosphere, particularly at the par-3 16th hole, aptly nicknamed "The Coliseum."

 

As the 2026 tournament approaches, fans and bettors alike are keenly interested in the odds of witnessing a hole-in-one on this iconic hole.

 

Historically, the 16th hole has seen its fair share of aces, with 12 players achieving this feat since 1988.

 

Notably, Tiger Woods delivered a memorable ace in 1997, and more recently, Emiliano Grillo added his name to the list in 2025.

 

For the 2026 event, sportsbooks have set the odds for a hole-in-one on the 16th hole at +250 for "Yes" and -325 for "No."

 

This suggests a moderate probability of an ace occurring during the tournament.

 

Beyond the 16th, the overall odds for any hole-in-one during the tournament are more favorable, reflecting the course's design and the skill level of the participating golfers.

 

As the tournament unfolds, all eyes will be on the 16th hole, where the combination of player precision and crowd energy creates an unparalleled spectacle.

 

Whether or not an ace is recorded, the excitement surrounding this hole remains a highlight of the WM Phoenix Open.
