The FBR Open is a nationally televised golf tournament, a part of the PGA Tour, held at the Tournament Players Club of Scottsdale, Arizona around the last weekend in January. 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 (FRB), became the title sponsor in October 2003.
The FBR Open began in 1932 as the Phoenix Open, but was discontinued after the 1935 tournament. The rebirth of the Phoenix Open came in 1939 when the vision of a dedicated golfer, Bob Goldwater, Sr. convinced fellow Thunderbirds (a prominent civic organization in Phoenix) into running the event. The event was played at Phoenix Country Club in Phoenix, Arizona, both in its earlier incarnations and after Goldwater resuscitated it. In 1987, the tournament was moved to its current home, the TPC of Scottsdale’s Stadium Course.
The FBR Open is the opportunity to see the best golfers in this nationally televised event that gives the City of Scottsdale more name recognition across the U.S.
This is the best attended golf tournament of every calendar year and in 2006 the FBR Open set a PGA Tour single day attendance record with over 168,000 fans in attendance on Saturday, Feb. 4, as well as a tournament week attendance record of 536,367 fans.
