2012 Waste Management Open Golf Tournament Coming To Scottsdale Arizona

Online, January 10, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The Greatest Show on Grass, a.k.a. the Waste Management Phoenix Open, returns to the TPC Scottsdale January 30 through February 5, 2012. Only a few weeks out, the stage is being built as we speak in anticipation of huge galleries, great food, live entertainment and tons of people watching all while being in an incredible intimate golf setting. There is no better time of year for Scottsdale residents and visitors.

This year's Phoenix Open field is taking shape with some of Golf's biggest names returning including 11 of the top-30 and 75 of the top-125 money leaders from the 2011 season committed. A field of 132 players will vie for the $6.1 million purse, the $1,098,000 first-place check and FedEx Cup points.

While the actual Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament will be played Thursday - Sunday (February 2-5), there will still be plenty of things to see and do at the TPC Scottsdale all week long. Many of the PGA TOUR pros will play morning practice rounds leading up to the tournament.

This years sponsor, Waste Management, has quickly turned the "Greatest Show on Grass" into the "Greenest Show on Grass" by incorporating a tournament-wide recycling and waste reduction program. Waste Management, known for its leadership in collection, transportation, disposal and recycling, also provides waste solutions like practical and sustainable renewable energy alternatives, comprehensive sustainability evaluations and new technologies to recover the resource in waste. The tournament is a way to showcase these solutions, which will help customers and communities reduce waste while reducing cost and creating positive change for the environment. In future years, Waste Management will continue to implement ways to make the Phoenix Open evolve as the green standard tournament on the PGA TOUR.

As always, there is more than just the golf tournament... The Coors Light Bird's Nest will provide live entertainment starting on Wednesday, February 1st, with bands including the Goo Goo Dolls and Will.I.Am showcasing their musical talent at the birds nest from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday evening. The Birds nest is always one of the more popular events of the year in Scottsdale for residents and tourist from all over the country.

I hope that everyone gets a chance to get out to the tournament this year.
