Waste Management Phoenix Open Preview: PGA Party Continues

Filed under:

Hunter MahanThe PGA Tour is enjoying a nice little run right now.

This week's Waste Management Phoenix Open could very well keep it going.

Two weeks ago the Bob Hope Classic produced a feel-good story: Venezuela native Jhonattan Vegas, who first learned the game hitting rocks, brought a big smile and excitement. It was followed by last week's popular win by Bubba Watson, in an exciting dual with Phil Mickelson.

Now, it's time to party.

The Waste Management Phoenix Open is loud, wacky and usually pretty interesting. The tournament traditionally draws the largest galleries in golf with a week-long attendance of some 500,000 attending what is called "a golf tournament wrapped in a social event."

Mickelson, No. 4, is the only player among the world's top 10 in the field, but other headliners will include Dustin Johnson, defending champ Hunter Mahan (pictured) and last week's Farmers Open winner Watson.
