Waste Management
Phoenix Open
Feb. 22-28
Scottsdale, Ariz.
The PGA TOUR, the Waste Management Phoenix Open
(formerly the FBR Open) has gained legendary status
on The PGA TOUR for being unlike any other golf
tournament. It takes place annually at the TPC
Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona. The 2010 event
will be held from February 22 to February 28. |

The tournament takes place
in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona, which is known for its
incredible weather during the tournament. The world's
best golfers compete for one of the biggest purses in
golf. The winner of the tournament is awarded nearly a
million dollars, but the real draw is the event itself.
The FBR Open was first held in 1932, and has been staged
every year consecutively since 1939. The event has gone
by several names, and was known as the Phoenix Open for
decades. The event has also moved to different courses
over the years, and is currently held at the TPC of
Scottsdale's Stadium Course.
The 18-hole "Stadium" course at the TPC of Scottsdale
facility in Scottsdale, Arizona features 6,508 yards of
golf from the longest tees for a par of 71 . The course
rating is 71.0 and it has a slope rating of 124 on
Bermuda grass. Designed by Jay Morrish, ASGCA/Tom
Weiskopf/(R)Randy Heckenkemper, the Stadium golf course
opened in 1986.
Several golf legends have won the event, including Phil
Mickelson, Vijay Singh, Ben Crenshaw and Arnold Palmer,
among others. Kenny Perry won the 2009 tournament and
took home $1,080,000 of the $6 million total purse. On
December 10, 2009, the FBR Open became the Waste
Management Phoenix Open after Waste Management took over
title sponsorship from FBR.

In 2009
Kenny Perry took home the Champions Trophy amd more than
a million dollars after a three-hole playoff with a 14
stroke under par performance. It was a tough year for
the FBR Open, with a bad economy and competing with the
Arizona cardinals playing in the Super Bowl, but it was
a great battle, exceptional golf, and a record amount of
money raised for charity through the host organization,
the Thunderbirds. |
