Through the first six events of 2016, the WPH Outdoor V has hosted two 4-Wall Big Ball stops, two 3-Wall Big Ball stops, and two 1-Wall Big Ball stops.

The six events on the Men’s WPH Outdoor V have produced several familiar names among the WPH Outdoor Elite, as well as several newcomers to the elite of the WPH Outdoor tour. Let’s examine the bios and season stats of the current WPH Outdoor Men’s Elite 8 on the 2016 WPH Outdoor V tour.
