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.

This year, the British Open will pay its ninth visit to the Royal Birkdale, having first visited the club in 1954. The event was originally due to be played at the course as early as 1940, but the outbreak of war meant that the championship was not held that year and it took a further 14 years for the Open to come to this corner of North West England. Since then, however, it has proved a superb and extremely popular venue, and of the courses which are currently used for The Open only St Andrews has hosted the event more often.
Founded as Birkdale Golf Club in 1889, the club had to wait until 1951 for it to get the “Royal” status. In 1946 the club hosted its first big championship in The Amateur Championship. During this time the club also hosted the 1948 Curtis Cup, in which the United States team were victorious, and the 1951 Walker Cup, which also fell into the hands of the United States. Several constructions, including a move in 1894 and a new clubhouse in 1935 also kept the members busy. During the 60’s the club played host to two Ryder Cups, one in 1965 and another in 1969.

The FBR Open has long been one of the most successful golfing events. Over the years, the event has become a community happening, commonly referred to as ‘The Greatest Show on Grass’, and along the way has raised close to $46 million for Arizona charities. Established in 1932, the event hands out a purse of $6,000,000 and is generally played in the month of January. Annually sporting the largest crowds on the PGA Tour, the FBR Open has gained legendary status for being unlike any other golf tournament.
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 4-day attendance of the tournament is usually around 500,000. The most popular hole for spectators to watch is the 16th hole due to the ‘Amphitheatre’ atmosphere of the hole, created by the stands erected every year before the tournament. The hole could be described as ‘one big party’, with many students from the nearby Arizona State University witnessing the play. The most popular golfer at FBR is unquestionably Phil Mickelson, an Arizona State alum. In addition to the golf, there is a concert held in the Scottsdale area called the Birds Nest, in which music artists like Huey Lewis and the News play.
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.

The 2008 Ryder Cup Matches are just round the corner and golf fans are all excited. Held every two years, winning the Ryder Cup is more a question of prestige than prize money. The Ryder Cup Matches are jointly administered by the PGA of America and the PGA European Tour. Team Europe won the Ryder Cup in 2006 with a score of 18½ to 9½. This was the third consecutive win for Europe.
The first Ryder Cup was an unofficial match in 1921, won 9-3 by the British. Another match was played in 1926. Samuel Ryder, a seed merchant, thought it would be good idea to make the match official and thus the Ryder Cup was founded, with Ryder donating the trophy. The first official match was held in Massachusetts in 1927 and has been held on a two year cycle since, apart from 1939 to 1945 when it was canceled due to World War II.
The Ryder Cup involves various matches between players selected from two teams of twelve. Currently, the matches consist of eight foursomes matches, eight four-ball matches and twelve singles matches. The winner of each match scores a point for their team, with ½ a point each for any match that is tied after 18 holes.
