Flagship DraftKings Sportsbook brings unparalleled experience to Scottsdale

The PGA TOUR and DraftKings held a ceremonial ribbon cutting at the DraftKings Sportsbook at TPC Scottsdale earlier today where Arizona Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald placed the ceremonial first bet.

The DraftKings Sportsbook will officially open to the public at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 20, according to a press release.

The 13,000 square-foot space debuted today with leadership representing the organizations involved in the project, including TPC Scottsdale General Manager and Regional Director of Operations Brad Williams; PGA TOUR Vice President of Gaming Scott Warfield; and DraftKings CCO Jen Aguiar.

Former NFL player and current DraftKings Network media personality Mike Golic emceed the grand opening.

“It’s an exciting day and we’re thrilled to celebrate the opening of the DraftKings Sportsbook at TPC Scottsdale, a location that showcases the special collaboration between DraftKings and PGA TOUR while featuring a number of customer-centric amenities true to the DraftKings brand,” said Jason Robins, DraftKings’ CEO and co-founder. “We look forward to welcoming in locals and visitors to experience DraftKings in a new way and enjoy the unmatched service and dining experience.”

The DraftKings Sportsbook is the first of its kind to open at a PGA TOUR tournament location, as TPC Scottsdale is home to the iconic WM Phoenix Open. The exciting new destination combines world-class golf with a premier sportsbook, giving Scottsdale residents and visitors an unmatched entertainment and dining experience any time of the year.

“The DraftKings Sportsbook at TPC Scottsdale promises to be a year-round destination where we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences to our fans,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “We appreciate the support of DraftKings, the Thunderbirds, the city of Scottsdale and the State of Arizona to help make this vision a reality.”’
