Maroon 5, Walker Hayes kick off 2023 WM Phoenix Open week with Concert in the Coliseum at 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale

The 2023 WM Phoenix Open keeps getting bigger.

The 2023 WM Phoenix Open keeps getting bigger.

The tournament at TPC Scottsdale, long held on the same weekend as the Super Bowl, will coincide with Arizona hosting the big game for the fourth time in February.

The event was recently granted elevated status by the PGA Tour for next season, virtually guaranteeing the strongest field in the tournament’s history.

Now, tournament host The Thunderbirds have announced the lineup for the Concert in the Coliseum for 2023, as Maroon 5 and Walker Hayes will kick off the week on Saturday, Feb. 4. The tournament dates are set for Feb. 9-12.

The 16th hole, a fully enclosed arena that can seat close to 17,000 fans, first hosted the concert ahead of the 2022 event.

Thomas Rhett and Old Dominion rocked the stage last time out. Fans filled the seats around the hole while some tickets allowed fans access to watch the concert from the tee boxes.

General admission tickets are not on sale yet; they are not part of the tournament ticket package.

“Last year’s inaugural Concert in the Coliseum was a huge success, so of course we are thrilled to run it back again for 2023,” said WM Phoenix Open Tournament Chairman Pat Williams in a statement. “We are excited to host Maroon 5 and Walker Hayes this year as we kick off tournament week in style, with a great show at the iconic 16th hole.”

The Phoenix Open’s final round will be on Super Bowl Sunday and usually ends around 6 p.m. ET (barring a playoff), about 20 minutes before kickoff, which will be at State Farm Stadium, about 30 minutes to the southwest in the suburb of Glendale.

Maroon 5, Brad Paisley headline concert series at the American Express in January

Two monster acts are headed to the American Express.

One of country music’s most successful acts of the last two decades and a pop group from California that headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2019 will be the concert acts at The American Express PGA Tour event in La Quinta.

Maroon 5 will be the featured concert after play on Friday, January 21, while Brad Paisley will perform on Saturday, January 22. Both concerts will be on the driving range at PGA West in La Quinta, where two of the three courses used in the PGA Tour event are located.

Paisley has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2001. His singing, songwriting, and showmanship have won him three Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, 14 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, and 15 Academy of Country Music Awards, among many other accolades.

Paisley has written 21 of his 24 No. 1 hits and, in 2008, he became the first artist to achieve 10 consecutive Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 singles. The 2010 CMA Entertainer of the Year’s past works have amassed more than 3.9 billion on-demand streams.

Paisley has twice been a featured act at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, in 2009 along with Kenny Chesney and Reba McIntyre, and again in 2012 with Jason Aldean and Miranda Lampert.

Maroon 5 stands out as one of the biggest musical acts of the 21st century. The band features a hybrid rock/R&B sound they introduced on their debut album, Songs About Jane in 2003. The Los Angeles band has achieved three Grammys, more than 80 million in album sales, 450 million singles worldwide, and earned gold and platinum certifications in more than 35 countries.

Released in the summer of 2021, Maroon 5’s current studio album, JORDI, features the band’s latest hit single “Beautiful Mistakes” featuring Megan Thee Stallion. JORDI also includes the band’s recent hits “Nobody’s Love” and “Memories,” which has surpassed 1 billion Spotify streams and amassed over 700 million YouTube views.

Tickets for the days of the concerts are $125, which includes golf during the day and the concerts after play. American Express cardholders receive a 20% discount on all tickets. Tickets are available at theamexgolf.com. Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test will be required to enter the tournament grounds.

The tournament had no concerts in 2021 because there were no fans allowed because of COVID-19 protocols. In 2020 the concerts featured rock legend Stevie Nicks and country artist Luke Bryan. Past acts to play at the tournament include Huey Lewis and the News, Goo Goo Dolls, Fitz and the Tantrums, Sammy Hagar, and Bad Company.
