It’s Monday evening, and time for our quick rundown of the week’s professional golf tour events – PGA, Champions, European, LPGA, Web.com.

This week we have the PGA Tour in Arizona for the always-rowdy Waste Management Phoenix Open, while the European Tour is in Dubai for the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

The LPGA Tour is off for the next two weeks, but will return for the ISPS Handa Women’s Australia Open in mid February. The PGA Tour Champions are off one more week, with a return scheduled next week, Feb. 10th, at the Allianz Championship in Boca Raton, Florida.
