SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — All eyes in the golf world for the next few days will be trained on Marco Simone Golf Club in Italy, specifically the rowdy first hole at the Ryder Cup.

Meanwhile, construction has begun on another golf arena halfway around the world from Rome.

Crews have started the buildout on the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale ahead of the 2024 WM Phoenix Open, set for Feb. 8-11.

The famous par-3 hole has become a bucket-list place for pro golfers and fans alike. The 150-yard hole is almost unrecognizable in its normal state.

Crews at the Stadium Course are also already building out the suites and grandstands along the par-4 17th hole as well.
