Description

The
Phoenix Open
(known as the
Waste Management Phoenix Open
due to title sponsorship by
Waste Management, Inc.
)
[1]
is a professional
golf
tournament on the
PGA Tour
, held in late January/early February at the
Tournament Players Club
(TPC)
of
Scottsdale, Arizona
.
The tournament was originally the
Arizona Open
, but was known for most of its history as the Phoenix Open until the investment bank
Friedman Billings Ramsey
became the title sponsor in October 2003, and it was known as the
FBR Open
for the next six editions. Waste Management began its sponsorship in 2010.
The event's relaxed atmosphere, raucous by the standards of professional golf, has earned it the nickname “The Greatest Show on Grass” and made it one of the most popular events on the PGA Tour calendar.
