The Waste Management Phoenix Open should have a big year this time around as the Super Bowl is in town and the world’s most popular golf player, Tiger Woods, is expected to participate in the 80th tournament. This Phoenix Open also known as the “Greatest Show On Grass” could break the $100 million mark as the Thunderbirds will be expecting record crowds as a top list of performers will be in action. That includes Kid Rock, whose Birds Nest concert sold out quickly. The tournament will kick off at the TPC of Scottsdale from January 26 and conclude on February 1, Super Bowl Sunday.
