Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale

Each winter, the best players in golf descend upon the Grand Canyon State to participate in the legendary Phoenix Open. The Waste Management Phoenix Open is conducted on the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale, which opened in 1987 specifically to host this event. The Phoenix Open is famous for its rowdy setting, and for being the most widely attended event on the PGA Tour. The 2020 edition, taking place from January 30 to February 2, coincides with the Coors Light Birds Nest concert series from January 29 to February 1, featuring such acts as Miranda Lambert, G-Eazy, Dierks Bentley and Kygo.

Waste Management Phoenix Open History

The first Arizona Open was held at the Phoenix Country Club in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1932, and then off and on until the mid 1940s. Bob Goldwater Sr. helped keep the tournament alive after it was discontinued from 1936 to 1938, and the 1939 tournament, which featured Byron Nelson defeating Ben Hogan by 12 strokes, was the turning point that made what was by then known as the Phoenix Open into a must-see attraction on the PGA Tour. Some of the greatest legends in golf have made their mark in the Phoenix Open. Arnold Palmer, Gene Littler, Mark Calcavecchia and Arizona State alum Phil Mickelson have all won three times at the event. Other notable winners include Billy Casper, Jack Nicklaus, Vijay Singh, and 2016 and 2017 champion Hideki Matsuyama.

Since 1973, the Phoenix Open has coincided with Super Bowl weekend, leading to some scheduling quirks when nearby Tempe or Glendale hosts the big game. The scheduling conflict has also affected its coverage, leading to a unique agreement where NBC airs the tournament when CBS airs the Super Bowl, and CBS airs the Honda Classic in years where NBC airs the Winter Olympics. The 1976 edition, in which Bob Gilder won his first PGA tournament, was watched by over 22 million people as the lead-out program to Super Bowl X on CBS. In 1997, only a few months before wowing the world at the Masters, Tiger Woods hit a hole-in-one on the 16th hole. In 2019, Rickie Fowler won by two strokes over South African Branden Grace.

    We went on Thursday and the event was incredibly well organized. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We got to see all the players we wanted and got into the 16th hole with no problem. The logistics were on point and they planned ride share very well with Uber on one side of the course and Lyft on the other. We’ll be back every year!

    T-shirts

    by Nonamegolfer on 2/9/18TPC Scottsdale - Scottsdale

    Loved the golf, wish the players would have been more willing to hang with the crowd and sign autographs. The t-shirt I wanted was $75... needless to say I didn't buy one... If they were $25 I would have purchases 3 or 4.

    WMO

    by Saint16 on 2/8/18TPC Scottsdale - Scottsdale

    Keeping it short and simple... overall, the event is a must go to event even if you’re not the biggest golf fan. It’s just fun. Three things I’d recommend if you don’t like the big crowd go earlier in the week ie friday, come early Saturday morning or later in the afternoon. I’d say Sunday but the SB will usually be on. The only real downfalls I had were these. It’s called the WMO the greenest show on grass but there was trash everywhere. I was at 16 and there was cans littering the stands, not enough trash receptacles. The next thing is that there doesn’t seem to be enough bathroom for anyone. I witnessed a guy pee in a beer can because the lines were too long.

    Great golf and great Phoenix cultural event

    by NJVVMD on 2/7/18TPC Scottsdale - Scottsdale

    The 5th time I have attend this event on a Sunday. Spent most of the day at the 16th hole. The golf is always wonderful and additionally you get to see a class reunion, fraternity party and Phoenix' version of Ascot - women and men of all ages in all sorts of outfits.

    Always Fun

    by FlashTwo on 2/7/18TPC Scottsdale - Scottsdale

    Seems a little crazy but is fun to see the golfers, course is beautiful. Crowds busy on Saturday so eat early before the lines get long. Forget about getting into hole 16 on the weekends unless you go when gate opens, but that is okay, plenty to see on course. Fun to walk around and follow the players you want to see. Will bring more people out next year.
