2021 SECURITY PROCEDURES The Waste Management Phoenix Open and the PGA TOUR are committed to providing the safest experience for both players and fans. Fans should be respectful to the players and courteous to fellow patrons. Those displaying egregious behavior will be removed from the tournament immediately. Tournament officials are working hard in advance of the upcoming tournament to ensure the enhanced security procedures are implemented seamlessly and that the public is aware of them prior to arriving at the main tournament entrance. Much of the TOUR’s security policy will be implemented behind the scenes and will have virtually no impact on your experience as a spectator. So, as you begin to plan for the upcoming WMPO please take the following procedures into account. We’ve highlighted the key elements of the security policy below. BAG INSPECTION • Bag inspection will be performed at all Admission Gates while gates are open. • Opaque bags, including purses, are not to exceed 6”x 6”x 6” in their natural state.
