And when the final putt drops each day, the party is just getting started. If you’re looking for the ultimate after-hours destination, there’s no better place than Crazy Girls Cabaret in Phoenix—the premier gentlemen’s club where PGA visitors keep the excitement alive long after the sun sets.

Fans cheer great shots, boo bad ones, and erupt in celebrations that echo across the course. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere every golf fan should experience at least once.
The Players
This event consistently draws golf’s biggest names. With a massive purse on the line, the field is typically stacked with stars and rising talents. That mix makes it one of the most unpredictable and exciting stops on the PGA Tour.
The History
First played in the 20th century, the tournament has grown into a global spectacle. Today, it attracts hundreds of thousands of fans over the week, making it one of the most attended sporting events in the world and the definitive kickoff party for a year of golf.
