The "Coliseum" is a nickname for the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale, which is a par-3 hole that is famous for its lively atmosphere during the Phoenix Open golf tournament. The hole is surrounded by a large grandstand that can hold up to 20,000 fans, creating a "coliseum"-like atmosphere for players and spectators alike.
The 16th hole measures 163 yards, and it's known for its relatively simple layout, which makes it a great spot for golfers to make birdies or even a hole-in-one. However, the hole's design, with its circular green surrounded by water and bunkers, can make it a challenging shot, especially with the added pressure of the enthusiastic crowd.
The "Coliseum" at TPC Scottsdale has become one of the most iconic holes in professional golf, and its unique atmosphere has helped to make the Phoenix Open one of the most popular events on the PGA Tour.
