Welcome to TPC Scottsdale, where a regular round of golf becomes an absolutely chaotic event in one simple 200-yard walk.

As players exit the par-5 15th hole at the Waste Management Phoenix Open this weekend, they'll walk into a tunnel that cuts through a grandstand before resurfacing in front of 20,000 screaming fans in golf's only arena.

Nerves will unquestionably be running rampant at the famous 162-yard par-3 16th, which is unlike any other hole on the PGA Tour.

Here are five unforgettable moments from "The Coliseum":

Tiger Woods' unforgettable ace

Widely regarded as the greatest hole-in-one in PGA Tour history, Tiger Woods caused complete and utter mayhem - with fans throwing beer cans on the course for the first time - when he drained an incredible ace in 1999.

Francesco Molinari's hole-in-one last season

The usually subdued Francesco Molinari holed out during the third round last year, leading to an epic roar and beer-throwing display from the Arizona faithful.

The famous caddie race of 2013

Every year, the caddies do their best to entertain the fans on 16 as well. This was by far the most memorable race yet.

Phil, Rickie, and D.J.

Phil Mickelson - a former Arizona State student - went right at the hole, only to be matched by Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson for a trio of perfect tee shots during the second round in 2012.

Gangnam Style

James Hahn celebrated a birdie in style by performing the "Gangnam Style" dance for the stadium crowd in 2013.
