The '''Phoenix Open''' (branded as the '''WM Phoenix Open''' for sponsorship reasons)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/news/2009/12/09/phoenixopen.html |title=Waste Management to sponsor Phoenix Open |publisher=PGA Tour |date=December 9, 2009 |access-date=March 13, 2013}}</ref> is a professional [[golf]] tournament on the [[PGA Tour]], held in early February at [[TPC Scottsdale]] in [[Scottsdale, Arizona]], United States.

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.

==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.

==Popularity==
The five-day attendance of the tournament is usually around a half million, the best-attended event in golf. In 2016, it set a PGA Tour and Phoenix Open single-day attendance record with 201,003 fans on Saturday, February 6, and a tournament week attendance record of 618,365 fans.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/golf/phoenix-open/2015/01/21/waste-management-phoenix-open-attendance-records/22116155/|title=Waste Management Phoenix Open attendance records |publisher=AZ Central |date=February 7, 2016}}</ref>

The most popular location for spectators is the par-3 16th hole, nicknamed "The Coliseum." {{nowrap|({{coord|33.64|-111.91}})}} One of the shortest holes on tour at {{convert|162|yd}}, it is enclosed by a temporary 20,000-seat grandstand. The hole could be described as "one big party," with many students from the nearby [[Arizona State University]] in [[Tempe, Arizona|Tempe]] in attendance. Poor shots at the 16th hole receive boos because the hole is straightforward by the PGA's standards. Good shots, however, are cheered loudly. Players who make [[Hole in one|holes in one]] at the 16th will cause the gallery to erupt, leading to beverages and other objects being tossed in celebrations;  [[Tiger Woods]] (1997),<ref name=wrecace>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=YwNZAAAAIBAJ&sjid=C0sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7258%2C4406344 |work=Victoria Advocate |location=(Texas) |title=Jones maintains Phoenix lead; Woods records ace on No. 16 |date=January 26, 1997 |page=6B}}</ref> [[Jarrod Lyle]] (2011), and [[Sam Ryder (golfer)|Sam Ryder]] (2022) have each aced the hole on Saturday, creating raucous celebrations at the hole.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2022/02/12/sam-ryder-ace-16-wm-phoenix-open/ |title=Watch: Sam Ryder makes an ace on 16 at WM Phoenix Open, coliseum nearly explodes and beer cans come raining down |magazine=Golfweek |date=February 12, 2022}}</ref>   The anger of a poor shot can lead to tempers flaring, as [[Justin Leonard]] gave obscene gestures to the gallery after a poor shot one year.  After 2013, the PGA Tour banned the practice of caddies racing the {{convert|150|yd}} from the tee box to the green, citing injury concerns.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golftalkcentral/tour-bans-caddie-races-tpc-scottsdale-colonial/ |title=PGA Tour Bans Popular Caddie Races at TPC Scottsdale, Colonial {{!}} Golf Channel |website=www.golfchannel.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140228223146/http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golftalkcentral/tour-bans-caddie-races-tpc-scottsdale-colonial/ |archive-date=2014-02-28}} </ref>

Former [[Arizona State Sun Devils#Golf|Arizona State]] players are very popular at the Phoenix Open, with many often wearing a [[Pat Tillman]] jersey when entering the 16th-hole stadium. [[Phil Mickelson]] and [[Jon Rahm]] are popular there for that reason. In addition to golf, there is a concert/party held in the Scottsdale area called the Birds Nest, at which music artists like [[Huey Lewis and the News]] play.

The Thunderbirds are still highly active in organizing the tournament. The Thunderbirds use portions of the proceeds to fund [[Special Olympics]] activities in Phoenix.

==Conflicts with the Super Bowl==
Since [[1973 PGA Tour|1973]],<ref name=crbnpw>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4rItAAAAIBAJ&sjid=xgkEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1019%2C2696469 |work=Wilmington Morning Star |location=(North Carolina) |agency=Associated Press |title=Crampton's birdie nets Phoenix win|date=January 15, 1973 |page=16}}</ref> the Phoenix Open has been played on the weekend of the [[Super Bowl]]. In 1976, coverage of the tournament's final round was joined in progress [[List of Super Bowl lead-out programs|immediately after]] CBS's coverage of [[Super Bowl X]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=NBC's Post-Super Bowl LVI Show Will Be the Winter Olympics|url=https://ca.movies.yahoo.com/nbc-post-super-bowl-lvi-193223496.html|access-date=2021-11-16|website=ca.movies.yahoo.com|date=12 November 2021}}</ref> In [[1996 PGA Tour|1996]], it was played Wednesday through Saturday, as [[Super Bowl XXX]] was held at [[Sun Devil Stadium]] in nearby Tempe.<ref name=mgoutaw>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7U1WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6-sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7040%2C6408688 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |location=(Oregon)|agency=Associated Press |title=Mickelson grinds out another win |date=January 28, 1996 |page=3F}}</ref>  In [[2009 PGA Tour|2009]], the tournament overlapped with [[Super Bowl XLIII]] in [[Raymond James Stadium|Tampa]], [[Florida]], when [[Kenny Perry]] and [[Charley Hoffman]] went to a playoff. That denied the spectators a chance to watch the beginning of the game on [[NBC Sunday Night Football|NBC]], which featured the local [[2008 Arizona Cardinals season|Arizona Cardinals]].

Because of the Super Bowl weekend status, the PGA Tour's television contracts with [[PGA Tour on CBS|CBS]] and [[PGA Tour on NBC|NBC]] include an alternating tournament. Usually, a CBS tournament occurs when NBC or Fox televises the Super Bowl, the Phoenix Open airs on NBC when CBS has the Super Bowl, and NBC's [[Honda Classic]] aired on CBS during the [[2018 Winter Olympics]].

In 2015, [[Super Bowl XLIX]] was held in Glendale at [[State Farm Stadium|University of Phoenix Stadium]] in 2015 and broadcast by NBC; the network would use sister network [[Golf Channel]] (which broadcasts early-round coverage for PGA Tour events) to provide cross-promotional tie-ins for the Super Bowl.<ref name="mcn-bigeventplan">{{cite web |title=NBCU's 'Big Event' Game Plan in Play for Super Bowl |url=http://www.multichannel.com/news/marketing/nbcus-big-event-game-plan-play-super-bowl-xlix/387113 |access-date=January 28, 2015 |website=Multichannel News}}</ref>

[[File:Waste Management Phoenix Open by Gage Skidmore.jpg|right|thumb|The 17th hole during the 2020 Waste Management Phoenix Open.]]
The tournament's lowest 72-hole score was set by [[Mark Calcavecchia]] in [[2001 PGA Tour|2001]] with 256 (–28), which was matched by Mickelson in [[2013 PGA Tour|2013]]. In the second round Calcavecchia scored a 60 (–11), which equalled the lowest score at the Phoenix Open (by [[Grant Waite]] in 1996) and subsequently matched by Mickelson in 2005 and 2013. Calcavecchia had 32 [[Birdie (golf)|birdies]] in the tournament, which was also an all-time record.

There have been only two [[Par (score)#Albatross|double eagles]] in the history of the Phoenix Open. [[Tom Pernice Jr.]] made the first one on the {{convert|558|yd|adj=on}} par-5 15th hole in 1990. [[Andrew Magee]] scored the second on the {{convert|332|yd|adj=on}} par-4 17th hole in 2001, and was the first-ever ace on a par-4 in PGA Tour history.<ref name="Kelley">{{cite web |last=Kelley |first=Brent| title=The Amazing Story of the Only Par-4 Hole-in-One in PGA Tour History |url=https://www.thoughtco.com/pga-par-4-hole-in-one-1566496 |website=thoughtco.com |access-date=October 4, 2017}}</ref>
