Seahawks helmet turns heads at TPC Scottsdale

Joel Dahmen brought a dose of football fandom to the WM Phoenix Open when he stepped into the tournament’s famed 16th-hole “Coliseum” wearing a Seattle Seahawks helmet. The moment came Thursday afternoon and quickly drew loud reactions from the packed grandstands.

Dahmen, a Clarkston, Washington native who played at the University of Washington for a year, donned the helmet briefly before a chip attempt. He swapped the helmet for his bucket hat, struck a delicate pitch that rolled in for birdie, then raised both hands to celebrate amid thunderous cheers.

How Dahmen got the helmet

Dahmen’s caddie, Ben Hulka, previously worked as an equipment manager for the Seahawks and was able to secure an official helmet for the stunt. “We were trying to figure out what to do to be subtle but still for the Seahawks,” Dahmen said after the round. The caddie connection made the moment possible and added a personal touch for the Washington native.

More than a publicity stunt — a hometown vibe

The helmet cameo echoed Dahmen’s history with the WM Phoenix Open and its lively 16th hole. He’s no stranger to playful moments at the event; Dahmen previously went viral with a shirt‑off moment on the same hole, an episode that resulted in a PGA Tour reprimand but not a fine. This year he’s playing via a sponsor invite and embraced the event’s party atmosphere in his adopted hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona.

“Being a sponsor invite this week, you try to embrace it,” Dahmen said. “Whether you’re in first place or last place, you’re still amped up on 16.” The helmet display fit that approach — lighthearted, fan-friendly and tuned to the Coliseum’s energy.

Looking ahead: a confident Super Bowl pick

When asked about the upcoming Super Bowl LX, Dahmen did not hold back. He predicted the Seahawks would win by two touchdowns, saying he didn’t see anything on the Patriots roster that worried him. “Unless Drake Maye runs for 150 yards,” Dahmen quipped, “but I don’t see that happening.”
