Stay Cozy in Arizona
Many Americans felt the impact of the snowstorms hitting large parts of the country this winter. More than 700,000 homes have lost power, and freezing temperatures, gray skies, and icy roads have made even simple daily routines a challenge. While much of the East Coast and Midwest are deep in winter survival mode, Arizona is experiencing one of its most inviting seasons of the year.
From January through early spring, Arizona offers sunshine, blue skies, and comfortably mild temperatures that make being outdoors effortless. Days are warm without being hot, nights are cool and cozy, and the desert landscape glows with a calm, golden warmth. It’s the perfect time to hike, explore, dine on patios, and enjoy local events, without crowds or extreme heat, making winter the most enjoyable season to visit the Grand Canyon State.
The WM Phoenix Open Is Right Around the Corner
February 5–8, 2026
TPC Scottsdale
For golf lovers, there’s another compelling reason for visiting Arizona this time of the year. Few sporting events match the energy of the WM Phoenix Open. Known as “The Greatest Show on Grass,” this iconic tournament blends elite PGA Tour competition with a high-energy atmosphere that feels more like a festival than a traditional golf event.
Fans from across the country gather in Scottsdale to experience the legendary 16th hole, live entertainment, and a full week of events that extend far beyond the course.
Thanks to Arizona’s winter weather, spectators can enjoy the tournament comfortably, moving between holes, hospitality tents, and nearby dining and nightlife without battling the elements.
