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. For the next six editions, it was known as the '''FBR Open'''. [[Waste Management (corporation)|Waste Management, Inc.]] began its sponsorship in 2010. The event's relaxed atmosphere, raucous by professional golf standards, has earned it the nickname "The Greatest Show on Grass" and made it one of the most popular events on the PGA Tour calendar.
