WM Phoenix Open 2024

The Phoenix Open is now known as the WM Phoenix Open for sponsorship reasons; it's a professional golf tournament and one of the PGA Tour events. The WM Phoenix Open generally takes place every year in January or early February at TPC Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Originally called the Arizona Open, it was known as the Phoenix Open for most of its existence. In October 2003, investment firm Friedman Billings Ramsey took on the title sponsorship, and the tournament was renamed the FBR Open for the subsequent six iterations. In 2010, Waste Management, Inc. started sponsoring.

The event has gathered a lot of praise and love for its relaxed approach as compared to other professional golf tournaments; this helped earn the nickname "The Greatest Show on Grass" and made it one of the most popular events on the PGA Tour calendar.

WM Phoenix Open History

Unlike several other PGA tournaments, the Phoenix Open dates back almost 100 years! It's been around 92 years since the tournament started, precisely in 1932, but unfortunately, it was discontinued after 1935. However, it was only a short time before the Phoenix Open came into being again in 1939 with the help of Bob Goldwater Sr., convincing fellow Thunderbirds to help run the event. The Thunderbirds, a prominent civic organization in Phoenix, were less enthusiastic about running the event than he was, leaving Goldwater Sr. to do most of the work in starting a golf open.

The tournament, though, moved 36 years ago, in the year 1987, to its current home ground, the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale, northeast of downtown Phoenix.

WM Phoenix Open 2024 Course

Since its inception in 1987, The Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale, designed by Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf, has served as the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open venue. With a spectacular finish line starting with the risk-reward 15th hole, the venue is renowned for being among the most exhilarating and fan-friendly in all of golf.

It was designed with maximum drama in mind. From the tournament tees, the course extends to over 7,200 yards; nonetheless, those visiting Arizona on vacation will discover that the layout features more generous fairways than many other nearby desert courses.
