The 2010 Waste Management Phoenix Open will once again generate a lot of excitement for all of us in The Valley of the Sun. Players, caddies, PGA Tour officials, tournament sponsors and their guests and a hundreds of thousands of patrons will hit town at about the same time…beginning early next week. This will bring a lot of very important economic activity to Arizona, and we couldn’t be more delighted. Along with longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures due to the later calendar date for this year’s tournament, we expect a nice increase in attendance from our friends in Canada and many parts of the U.S., let alone thousands of golf fans right here in the Greater Phoenix Area.
Based on prior experience, we know that Tournament Week will create a lot of traffic around TPC Scottsdale, and that oftentimes means you’ll wind up in a traffic jam a few times next week. We enourage you to use one of the alternatives open to our patrons. That will make tournament week more enjoyable for you, and it will give you more time to enjoy watching great golf!
