Despite a still-recovering economy, the Waste Management Phoenix Open boosted the Arizona economy by an estimated $222 million this past winter, according to a study released Tuesday by the tournament host Thunderbirds.

The golf tournament's economic impact was up 23 percent from 2007, when Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business did a similar study.

Tourists make up about 30 percent of the tournament fans, and they contributed $89.7 million in direct spending for lodging, food, liquor, entertainment, taxis and rental cars, according to visitor surveys conducted at the TPC Scottsdale.

This year, attendance at the weeklong open ending Feb. 5 hit 518,262, up 2 percent from 2007.

Good weather and an improving economy may have helped, Thunderbirds Big Chief Alex Clark said.
