Golf

So, the Phoenix Open is finally here and fitted with an ultra-stacked field fresh off the Accenture Match Play Championship in Tucson. While the tournament is overflowing with top talent, a new non-Super Bowl-coinciding date and record crowds expected throughout the week, all the talk still on Mr. Woods—who’s private plane is parked at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport as I type.

Aside from a new sponsor, the Phoenix Open has something else to cheer about… its 75th birthday.

If there is one thing that really hampers an awesome day at the Phoenix Open, it is the daunting idea of finding parking. Luckily, tournament coordinators and planners have taken extra care of patrons with parking and transportation options to get tourney-goers to and from the grounds with ease.

I’ve attended numerous golf events in recent years and have witnessed my share of closest to the pin contests and prize holes. I’ve played in tournaments where amateurs have jarred it and won a car, a trip or some other unfathomably fortunate prize.
