Officials said that the woman had suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to ESON.
The Thunderbirds, the civic organization that hosts the event, said in a statement that officials "reacted quickly at the scene to give the injured fan immediate medical attention and then provided safe transport to a local medical center for further evaluation."
"The WM Phoenix Open works closely with local law enforcement, fire and medical organizations and the PGA TOUR to strategically place emergency units throughout tournament grounds to promptly address health and safety situations," the statement said. "We will provide additional details if or when appropriate out of respect for medical privacy."

The 16th hole is known for the raucous crowds and, inevitably, heavy drinking, but it is unknown whether the victim was consuming alcohol when she fell.
It is the only hole in professional golf that is fully enclosed by stands, where around 16,000 fans can sit and watch.
