The PGA Tour threw its annual party at TPC Scottsdale this week, with a total purse of $9.6 million and $1,728,000 to the winner.
And as the WM Phoenix Open often does, the winner was decided just before the kickoff of the Super Bowl. A seventh playoff in 11 years went to Chris Gotterup, who defeated two-time past champion Hideki Matsuyama when the Japanese star's driver, which had been balky throughout the final round, sunk him on the first extra hole.
