Now for some good news on the sponsorship front

The Phoenix area PGA Tour event has found a title sponsor to replace FBR: Waste Management, which reportedly has agreed to a six-year sponsorship contract. An announcement is expected later today in Scottsdale, Ariz.

It won't be Waste Management's first foray into golf. The company has had an endorsement deal with PGA Tour player Charley Hoffman.
