Editing Phoenix Open (section)

==History==
The Phoenix Open began {{Time ago|1932}} in 1932 but was discontinued after the 1935 tournament. The rebirth of the Phoenix Open came in 1939 when Bob Goldwater Sr. convinced fellow Thunderbirds to help run the event. The Thunderbirds, a prominent civic organization in [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]], were less enthusiastic about running the event than he was, leaving Goldwater Sr. to do most of the work in getting a golf open started.

The event was played at the [[Phoenix Country Club]] in Phoenix {{nowrap|({{coord|33.48|-112.06}}),<ref name=pccglf>{{cite web|url=http://www.phoenixcountryclub.com/club/scripts/section/section.asp?NS=PG |work=Phoenix Country Club |title=Golf |access-date=February 4, 2017}}</ref>}} both in its earlier incarnations and after Goldwater resuscitated it. Beginning in 1955, the Arizona Country Club (also in Phoenix) {{nowrap|({{coord|33.49|-111.96}}),<ref name=accglf>{{cite news |url=http://www.azcountryclub.com/Golf-(1).aspx |work=Arizona Country Club|title=Golf |access-date=February 4, 2017}}</ref>}} alternated as event host with Phoenix Country Club; this arrangement lasted until Phoenix Country Club took The Arizona Country Club's turn in 1975 and became the event's permanent home again.

The tournament moved {{Time ago|1987}} in [[1987 PGA Tour|1987]] to its current home, the Stadium Course at [[TPC Scottsdale]], northeast of downtown Phoenix. The approximate average [[elevation]] of the course is {{convert|1530|ft|round=5}} above [[sea level]].

The purse was [[United States dollar|$]]8.2 million in [[2021–22 PGA Tour|2022]], then increased over 140% to $20 million for [[2022–23 PGA Tour|2023]], with a winner's share of $3.6 million.
