The Thunderbirds are once again inviting active first responders as well as active, reserve, veterans and retired U.S. military personnel and one accompanying individual to be their guest at the 2023 WM Phoenix Open.

This is the 21st year that the tournament host Thunderbirds have extended this free invitation as a small gesture of thanks to our nation’s heroes, according to a press release.

To take advantage of the free admission offer, first responders and active, reserve, veterans and retired U.S. military must first go to https://auth.govx.com/tickets/entertainer-events/a412f690-987f-ec11-8a0d-000d3ac50276/?display=popup to register through the GovX verification program.

Once qualified, they will receive a link as well as a unique one-time passcode to secure their mobile tickets. Tickets are limited to two per day, per qualifying applicant. A mobile ticket will be required to enter the tournament. Additional information can be found at https://wmphoenixopen.com/spectator-info/military-and-emergency-services-personnel/.

Additionally, the Birdies for the Brave Patriots Outpost will be open Wednesday through Sunday during tournament week and available to all active, reserve, veterans and retired U.S. military from all five branches of the armed forces.

Located in a prime spot near the 18th tee, Patriots Outpost is a great venue where military personnel (+ one guest) can enjoy food and drinks (complimentary) while watching PGA TOUR golf action in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

In order for all military heroes to get the chance to experience the Birdies for the Brave Patriots Outpost, official military ID’s will be required to gain access, and the one-guest maximum guideline will be enforced to help keep the crowds and wait times down.
