Waste Management Phoenix Open
Greatest Show on Grass
The Greatest Show on Grass has a new name. It's no longer the FBR Open, it's the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Same fun. Same location. New title sponsor and new date. The Waste Management Phoenix Open will be played February 22 - 28, 2010 at the TPC Scottsdale. If you've never been to the tournament before, do yourself a favor and go, because this tournament is unlike any other golf tournament in the world. Huge galleries, great food and drink and lots of networking opportunities. Heck, there's even a 20,000-seat stadium surrounding the 16th hole.
The 2010 edition of the Waste Management Phoenix Open marks the 75th anniversary of the event, making it one of the five oldest events on the PGA TOUR (not including the major championships). The list of past tournament champions reads like a golf history book with the likes of Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Ben Crenshaw and Phil Mickelson having all won here in Phoenix. 2009 tournament champion Kenny Perry will return to the TPC Scottsdale to defend his title along with some of the best players on the PGA TOUR. Perry, 49, is coming off a stellar 2009 season that included two victories, the FBR Open and the Travelers Championship, as well as a runner-up finish (in a three-way playoff) at The Masters.
