WM Phoenix Open-inspired capsule for the ‘Greatest Show on Grass’

The company designed nine special products, all in WM colorways.

Arizona lifestyle and golf brand Devereux has created a WM Phoenix Open-inspired capsule with their “Play More, Complain Less” mantra. The WM Phoenix Open is one of the best-attended golf tournaments in the world.

According to TPC Scottsdale, the event averages more than 700,000 attendees each year and as a local brand, DVRX felt compelled to do something commemorating the legendary event. DVRX has designed nine special products, all in WM colorways.

DVRX Plug Life Golf Towel

The Plug Life Golf towel is a waffle-knit towel inspired by desert golf. With green and yellow WM colors, this bold 1970s cactus design is a way to represent the desert sun and good times.

DVRX Skull Caddy Hat

DVRX has designed multiple rope-styled hats in this capsule. The Skull Caddy Hat is a yellow cap with a simple skull design to represent the desert heat. The hat has five panels and a snap closure to fit all head sizes. Made from 100% polyester, the perforated sides allow for maximum breathability in hot climates.

So about that gopher in the remote control boat at Waste Management Phoenix Open

You’ve probably seen the little guy cruising around on his remote control boat during the TV coverage of the Waste Management Phoenix.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — You’ve probably seen the little guy cruising around on his remote control boat during the TV coverage of the Waste Management Phoenix.

His name is the Green Gopher. Sometimes he wears a headband. This year, he’s donning a mask. On Super Bowl Sunday, he’ll sport some sort of NFL gear, although his official spokesman would divulge nothing further so as to not spoil the surprise. A mini TB12 jersey, perhaps? Again, no secrets could be revealed.

For viewers on TV or fans at the course, he’s probably just a fun gimmick, a slick way for Waste Management to get some airtime for its logo.

But in reality, the Green Gopher, officially the Waste Management Recycling Ambassador, has an actual job: to buzz around the lake and scare the birds away from the giant floating WM on the 18th hole, although Golfweek can confirm that the Green Gopher’s boat no longer shoots water at the birds.
