WM PHOENIX OPEN NEWS INFO
At the WM Phoenix Open, going green isn’t just something we say – it’s something we do. Known around the world as both “The People’s Open” and the “Greenest Show on Grass,” this tournament has built a legacy of sustainability that matches its reputation for electric energy and unforgettable crowds.
Every year, the WM Phoenix Open operates as one of the largest zero-waste sporting events on the planet, diverting nearly all tournament materials away from landfills through recycling, composting, and donation programs. From visible recycling and composting efforts to behind-the-scenes sustainability operations, the goal is simple – minimize the tournament’s footprint.
GREENOUT DAY AT THE WM PHOENIX OPEN – SUSTAINABILITY
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
That commitment comes to life in a big way on Saturday with GREENOUT Day – one of tournament week’s most iconic traditions.
Yes, GREENOUT is fun. It’s a sea of fans dressed head-to-toe in green. It’s a statement. It’s a vibe. But it’s also much more than that.
GREENOUT Day represents the WM Phoenix Open’s belief that sustainability should be something everyone can be part of – not just a behind-the-scenes effort, but a visible community movement. When fans show up in green, they’re joining a day dedicated to environmental awareness, charitable impact, and the future of Arizona.
In recent years, the WM Phoenix Open and The Thunderbirds have tied GREENOUT directly to meaningful action through the WM Phoenix Open Working For Tomorrow Fund, supporting sustainability-focused charities and initiatives across the state. It’s one more way this tournament turns tradition into tangible impact.
And throughout the day, fans will see sustainability in action everywhere – from zero-waste operations to activations that highlight responsible resource use, community partnerships, and the ongoing work that makes “The Greenest Show on Grass” more than just a nickname.
At the WM Phoenix Open, the energy is real. The crowds are loud. The moments are unforgettable. And on GREENOUT Day, the impact goes beyond the ropes.
So this Saturday, wear green. Be part of the tradition. Be part of the movement.
Because at “The People’s Open,” GREENOUT isn’t just a color – it’s a commitment.
