The WM Phoenix Open has entertained with golf, and it has fed the Valley with food.

For the seventh time, Waste Not, a Valley nonprofit dedicated to eliminating food waste and hunger, “rescued any and all excess food” from the annual tournament.

“The WM Phoenix Open has been recognized for the past eight years as the largest zero-waste sporting event in the world,” Waste Not officials said in a release.

“Waste Not is excited to once again be an integral part of WM’s Zero Waste initiative,” Hillary Bryant, executive director of Waste Not, said.

“The amount of food we are able to rescue from this event enables us to feed thousands of hungry people in the Valley, while also ensuring that absolutely no food makes it to the landfill.”

Last year, Waste Not set a record for the amount of food rescued from the Phoenix Open at 23,600 pounds.

Through a partnership with M Culinary Concepts, the caterers for the WM Phoenix Open, Waste Not took responsibility for all surplus food for delivery across the Valley to organizations, including the United Food Bank.

"M Culinary Concepts and Waste Not share the same commitment to nourishing our community," Brandon Maxwell, CEO of M Culinary Concepts, said.

"The WM Phoenix Open's zero-waste initiative has helped us forge a lasting partnership. Beyond tournament week, we work together year-round to rescue and redistribute food to Arizonans confronting food insecurity."
