A Tennessee man is suing various organizations after he broke his ankle at last year's WM Phoenix Open.
William O’Hagan is suing the PGA Tour, Pro Em Operations, TPC of Scottsdale and Thunderbird Charities in federal court for uspecified damages after he slipped in the mud and broke his ankle during the soggy 2024 edition of the tournament.
The severe break needed surgery that “required the placement of significant, permanent orthopedic hardware, including multiple surgical-grade screws and a stabilizing plate to realign the fractured bone fragments and maintain appropriate anatomical alignment,” according to the complaint, filed Jan. 26.
