The World’s Most Famous Tiger Is Coming To Phoenix
That’s right golf fans, wake the kids and call the neighbors Tiger Woods is coming to Phoenix to play in the Waste Management Phoenix Open, “The Greatest Show On Grass”, or as one Golf Channel analyst once quipped “the rowdiest golf tournament on planet earth!”
It’s been 14 years since Tiger prowled the fairways and greens of the Tournament Players Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. To quote Tiger from his Twitter account “Starting my year off at Phoenix & Torrey back-to-back weeks. I’m ready to go. Should be a lot of fun”.
The Waste Management Phoenix Open will be played the week of January 26 through February 1, 2015 at TPC Scottsdale. This year’s field of 132 players will compete for a total purse of $6.3 million. First place will take home the trophy, 500 FedEXCup points -- oh yeah -- and $1,134,000 million.
Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods last played in the Phoenix Open in 2001, he tied for fifth place. Woods played in the 1999 (3rd place) and 1997 (tied for 18th). His total earnings for those appearance $376,250.
One of the most famous shots in the history of professional golf is Tiger’s 1997 hole in one on the TPC Scottsdale’s par 3 16th hole, and if the WM Phoenix Open is the rowdiest tournament on planet earth then the 16th hole is definitely the rowdiest hole in golf; checkout the video below.
And if you thought you could get through a post without me talking about real estate --- in a somewhat related story Tiger's private island in Sweden is on the market for only $7.1 million. It's listed with Valdi Private Islands.
