Scottsdale, The FBR Open (PGA Tour) Tournament starts Today. The Birds Nest Opens at 330, Enjoy!

Annually sporting the largest crowds on the PGA TOUR, the FBR Open has gained legendary status on TOUR for being unlike any other golf tournament. Yes, the Phoenix TOUR stop is different from all the rest, but what makes it so? It starts with the unbelievable golf played by the likes of JB Holmes, Aaron Baddeley, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh on the beautiful TPC Scottsdale and ends with the biggest galleries on TOUR. In between the golf and the galleries are The Thunderbirds. Hosts of the Open since 1939, this fine group of Valley business men has turned an ordinary "golf tournament" into a community event/happening -- commonly referred to as "The Greatest Show on Grass" -- and along the way have raised close to $53 million for Arizona charities.

The 2009 edition will mark the 74th playing of the Open, and the sixth as the FBR Open, making it one of the five oldest events on the PGA TOUR.
