Getting to the 2024 Phoenix Open: Free parking lots, shuttles and Uber/Lyft info

Are you planning on attending “The People’s Open” in Scottsdale Feb. 5-11?

If you're going to the 2024 WM Phoenix Open or the concerts at the Coors Light Birds Nest, there are some things you need to know about traveling to and from the golf tournament at TPC Scottsdale. The Phoenix Open is part of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup.

Tournament Chairman George Thimsen recommends checking the tournament website for first tee times before heading out. There is the chance for frost delays that may push start times. Regardless of the tee times, Thimsen has this advice:

“The earlier the better,” he said. “Give yourself ample time to get out there.”

“As far as parking goes, I always recommend leaving early. Definitely be patient,” Thimsen said. “It's such a big city-stopping moment out here. And it's a testament to our community that everybody wants to come out, but as the tournament continues to get bigger it's going to take a little more time. So, I just would encourage everyone to be patient.”

And if you want to miss the heaviest traffic when exiting, leave at least an hour before the end of play each day, maybe even earlier.
