The most famous at the golf course is the 16th. It's one of four par 3s and it's the shortest one. It's marked at 163 yards but on Saturday's they typically move it up to try to induce an ace. The last time fans saw one was in 2022 when Carlos Ortiz made one, two days after Sam Ryder did it.

There have been 11 aces on the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale since the tournament was first played there in 1987.
