WASTE MANAGEMENT PHOENIX OPEN 2018
DRIVING FORWARD
PGA Tour has big talent, big hitters and big problems to tackle in 2018 the gladiator pit at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, walking out of the tunnel and teeing it up at the 16th hole. “I don’t know how I’d do,” Nicklaus said. “When I dotted the ‘I’ with the marching band at Ohio State, there were 110,000 people in the stands. I was telling myself to not trip over the white lines. I’ve been in a lot of big galleries before, but that was di“ erent. “The people at the 16th hole are the same way. There are galleries, and there are galleries. And the number of people that come to the tournament, and the fun that they have, is great for the sport. It may be a little bit of a circus, but that’s OK. Golf is entertainment, players love being there and you should be very proud of it. What you’ve
Dan Bickley Columnist Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK
The PGA Tour walks a ÿne line. The sport of golf must be elite but not aloof. Cutthroat but genteel. Entertaining but never crass. Available to the masses but always aspiring for something higher. How you play the game actually matters. But the landscape is changing. The outside world is only getting louder. Fans want spectacles more than they want sports. And there are times when even Jack Nicklaus wonders how he would fare in

Waste Management Phoenix Open Preview
PGA pros aim to win SUV for charity at 16th Arizona Republic
There now will be a method to some of the madness at the 16th hole of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. For the ÿrst time, the golfer with the combined closest-to-the-pin tee shots after the ÿrst two rounds will leave Scottsdale with a 2018 Ford Expedition as the winner of the “Drive for your Ride” contest. Better still, the golfer that gets that new ride also wins a vehicle for a local charity that they’ve designated. “As the o’cial vehicle of the Open we were looking for ways to heighten the excitement at the 16th hole while also beneÿtting a deserving non-proÿt organization,” said Tim Hovik, president of the Desert Ford Dealers. “Now the fans will have even more to cheer about when their favorite pro enters the iconic amphitheater.”
PGA Tour players will chose from this list of charities: Special Olympics Arizona, First Tee Phoenix, Homeward Bound, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Make a Wish Arizona, Ronald McDonald House of Phoenix, Salvation Army, Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC), St. Mary’s Food Bank, 100 Club of Arizona, St. Vincent’s De Paul and UMOM New Day Centers. Fans can follow the standings through the ÿrst two rounds by checking Thunderbird video boards, and following on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook with the hashtags #WMPO, #Drive4Ride and #Greenestshow. Ford once again is sponsors “Ford Free Days,” allowing everyone to attend a Pro-Am and other special activities on Monday and Tuesday of tournament week.

Bickley Continued from Page 1WM
done there in Scottsdale is fantastic.” Nicklaus feels the same way about the current state of PGA Tour, which is entering a new season with an unprecedented depth of talent. Six of the top eight players are under the age of 30. Dustin Johnson entered the year as the top-ranked player in the world, a fourtime winner in 2017, a 33-year old who is just entering his prime. Behind him are Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm and Hideki Matsuyama, who are all 25 or younger. The competition is so ÿerce that a par of former No. 1 players – Rory McIlroy and Jason Day – entered the season ranked 11th and 13th, respectively. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Open is the uno’cial kicko‘ party of the season, where record gatherings continue to pour into TPC Scottsdale, where Saturday crowds now exceed 200,000. The tournament hasn’t stopped growing. The scene at No. 16 has become one of the most entertaining holes on tour, a bucket-list item for celebrities and fans alike. The event has an exquisite but dangerous energy, sundrenched and highly inebriated. It feels like an NFL crowd, lending an element of cool to a sport that struggles for relevance. It’s also spawned a question rarely heard in these parts: Should the tournament cap the attendance, stabilizing while they’re ahead? There could be no higher praise of this tournament’s status and appeal, especially in a region where teams like the Diamondbacks, Suns and Coyotes struggle with attendance issues. “No, we haven’t thought about it,” Tournament Director Carlos Sugich said. “The attendance is really driven by the weather. Last year, we had terriÿc weather every single day, and that’s why we got 655,000 people. “I think at the end of the day, our efforts are to make sure that the people in attendance go beyond the three last
holes. I mean, we have 18 holes at the TPC in Scottsdale. And we’re basically all in the last three. So we have a lot of real estate to grow our tournament moving forward. And part of the new additions that we’re doing like the (expanded El) Rancho or the new craft beer house on the 7th hole is precisely that – to drive people away from the last three holes. And so it doesn’t feel that it is that, you know, crowded.” Still, the Phoenix Open is one of the sport’s great anomalies, the rare tournament that flourishes regardless of the ÿeld. To wit: The 2017 Masters had its lowest television ratings in 13 years. The ÿnal round of the PGA Championship drew its smallest audience in nearly a decade, two months after the U.S. Open did the same. Some of the numbers can be dismissed out of hand, part of the fragmenting world of cable viewership. But there is plenty of reason to believe the new generation of golfers just aren’t connecting with fans on an emotional level. Talent is certainly not the issue. Johnson has monstrous talent, and nearly aced a 433-yard, par-4 earlier this season. Analyst Brandel Chamblee called it the “greatest shot ever hit.” Thomas is only 24 and carded a 59 at the Sony Open. Spieth is looking to achieve the career Grand Slam, while Rickie Fowler is still looking for his ÿrst major victory. Rahm seems destined to take the Arizona State torch from Phil Mickelson, a fading icon searching for his ÿrst victory since 2013. And the 2018 season e‘ ectively marks the last stand of Tiger Woods, who says he’s ÿnally healthy. “The game has more good players today than it ever has,” Nicklaus said. “We had a lot of good players in the time I played. Then we had a bit of a lull. Then Tiger starting dominating, and there weren’t a lot of good players at the time. And now, we just have a ton of good players. “In some ways, the tour has beneÿtted from Tiger’s problems. He might still be dominating the game if he had stayed healthy. But when he had his issues, a lot of other players have been given a
chance to win. And they have.” Question is, do any of them resonate the way Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer did during their famed rivalry? Or how Woods and Mickelson drove the sport into the mainstream before one of them backed into a ÿre hydrant? The more subtle concern is the growing disconnect between professional golfers and weekend hackers. Advancements in technology and equipment have transformed the game at its highest level, where golfers simply overpower most courses on tour. The proliferation of big hitters on the PGA Tour is surreal, almost like the advent of 300-pound players in the NFL. Twenty years ago, John Daly became the ÿrst player to average more than 300 yards per drive. That list grew to 43 players in 2016-17. That year, there were also 29 drives that exceeded 400 yards. Finally, consider the evolution of Fred Couples, who averaged 267 yards per drive as a healthy 22-year old, and nearly 300 yards as a 49-year old legend with a cranky back. “Pretty soon, we’re going to run out of land,” former LPGA star Annika Sorenstam said. “You can only make courses so big. But no matter how far you hit it, you still have to put the ball in the hole. “They say the biggest distance in golf is the distance between the ears. And I think it might make some people appreciate the women’s game a little more. Amateurs can relate to what we do because they can’t envision doing what some of the guys are doing.” Sorenstam is right. Once upon a time, professional golfers weren’t hitting it that much farther than the rest of us. They were just more consistent and far more accurate and never struggled with the yips. Nicklaus and Woods once dominated the majors because they were tremendous putters, especially under pressure. That is no longer the case. Pro golfers are playing a game no longer identiÿable to most sports fans, no di‘ erent than watching Giancarlo Stanton hit a baseball 500 feet. “I don’t think there’s more people with power,” Nicklaus said. “The golf ball
has a tremendous amount to do with it. We had guys hitting the ball a long way in my day, and if they had the same equipment, I think the distances would be comparable. But equipment has changed the game. Is that bad? Probably not. Is it good? Maybe, maybe not. I don’t know. “Everyone wants to think their era was the best. (Ben) Hogan and (Sam) Snead felt that way. We felt that way. Tiger felt that way. And the guys today feel that way. We don’t know what’s going on (with the distance of today’s players), but it’s nice to see the game growing in popularity. Tournament golf is probably as healthy as it has ever been.” Golf always faces a delicate balance. The sport must honor tradition and technology. It must serve yesterday and tomorrow. It needs to do something about the golf ball because no one can a‘ ord and maintain 8,000-yard courses. Nicklaus’ biggest complaint? He’s not digging some of the sloppy attire and overgrown facial hair he sees on tour. “When it comes to demeanor, dress and cleanliness, most guys are pretty good,” Nicklaus said. “Some are not as good as they could be. And when I was playing, they were very hard on us, making sure we represented the sport in the best way possible. I don’t think they spend as much time on that today.” None of that will matter at the Phoenix Open, where spectator attire always takes precedence. The event is the Mardi Gras of golf, a party that never stops. The mammoth crowds will make the sport look very healthy, especially if you’re wearing beer goggles. But this much seems clear: The 2018 season will be a pivotal year for the PGA Tour, which has huge talent, big hitters and sizable problems that can no longer be ignored.

Fowler has one major goal left to check off Brentley Romine
it.

“Goals going forward this year are, I would say, the biggest and main one is get a major,” Fowler said. “I think I did a good job last year of putting myself in contention multiple times, but there needs to be some better weekends to make sure that we’re on top come Sunday afternoon. So that’s the main goal this year.” Fowler has eight career top-10s in majors, including two last season (T-5 at both the U.S. Open and PGA Championship). He’s getting closer to that major breakthrough, though. Last season was one of Fowler’s best, statistically, on Tour. He won the Honda Classic and closed the year win a win at the Hero World Challenge. In all, he had 10 top-10s in 21 Tour starts with just three missed cuts. His 0.761 strokes gained: putting ranked second on Tour, and Fowler was second in scoring average (69.083). Currently, Fowler is ranked No. 1 in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings – ahead of Dustin Johnson, ahead of Jordan Spieth, ahead of everyone. “Not that we’re going to live o“ statistics,” Fowler said, “but if we can check all the boxes in there and be prepared, then we can be ready to go win golf tournaments.” Maybe even some of the major variety.
Rickie Fowler was asked earlier this month about the possibility of a player nowadays winning eight or nine times in a season. Tiger Woods won nine times in 2000, and has eclipsed eight wins in a season twice more during his career. Vijay Singh had a nine-win year in 2004. But since 2010, the most wins any single player has had in a single season is ÿve with four players accomplishing that feat. Fowler, who ÿnished one stroke out of the playo“ that decided last year’s Waste Management Phoenix Open, said he still believe it can be done, though he did say that ÿve or six wins in a season “is a pretty special year.” “You get past that mark, (you can) just go hang up the clubs and go hang at the beach.” Unfortunately for Fowler, even if he wins ÿve times this season – the most wins he’s had in a year is three, in 2015, when he won twice on the PGA Tour and once in Europe – he might not be able to enjoy the sun, sand and surf to the fullest. Unless, of course, one of those wins is a major. Fowler, at 29 and in his ninth PGA Tour season, is still stuck at zero majorchampionship victories – and he knows

Waste Management Phoenix Open Preview
Tour’s big stars have lofty goals for 2018 Golfweek
There are plenty of goals the big names in golf will be looking to achieve in 2018, according to Golfweek’s Kevin Casey. Here are a few related to stars who will be in the ÿeld this week at the Waste Management Phoenix Open: Jon Rahm: Make some major noise What a 2017 it was for the Arizona State product. The Spaniard earned his ÿrst PGA Tour title in dramatic fashion — a 60-foot eagle putt on the last hole of the Farmers Insurance Open — then won two European Tour events, including the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai. In the process, he has jumped to No. 2 in the O“cial World Golf Ranking. He’s 23 years old. The only place Rahm didn’t seem to perform in 2017 was the majors. He played in all four and made the cut in three, but he failed to post a top-25 ÿnish in any. For a player with his otherworldly talent, Rahm can certainly do better. With a year of experience under his belt there, 2018 is the time for him to start contending in the Big Four. He deÿnitely has the ability to win one as soon as this year, but he has to start by simply contending in them ÿrst. If he happens to win one quickly in that process, then that works, too. Regardless, 2018 should be the year Rahm starts his run toward major titles. Phil Mickelson: Break that victory drought Mickelson’s quest for a career grand slam — he needs the U.S. Open to do it — is viable. But what’s been looming most has been his inability to win. Lefty still hasn’t captured a victory anywhere since his 2013 Open Championship triumph, and this startling fact remains: Tiger Woods has won more recently than Mickelson. So yeah, it’s time for Mickelson, 47, to get back in that winner’s circle. It doesn’t matter where (although he would prefer a major or another highproÿle event), Mickelson just needs to look to get this done to get that winning feeling again. He’s been so close so many times since Muirÿeld, but it’s time for him to close things out again. Hideki Matsuyama: Tone down internal pressure

disgusted reactions to good shots. But it was really most startling when Matsuyama was distraught after ÿnishing solo ÿfth, 10 shots behind winner Brooks Koepka, at the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament in November. He was quoted lamenting the “many issues to address” in his game and that there’s a “huge gap” between he and Koepka, the 2015 Phoenix open winner. Matsuyama gets plenty of attention from his home country of Japan, especially with him being in line to become the country’s ÿrst male major champion. But the 25-year-old is a superstar in the making who will accomplish plenty if he keeps working hard. He should also enjoy his success, too. So in 2018 we’re hopeful not that Matsuyama lays o‘ the gas pedal but that he manages to not pressure himself too much and enjoy his golf successes more. Justin Thomas: Be more consistent We deÿnitely have to nitpick a bit after a 2016-17 PGA Tour Player of the Year campaign that included ÿve wins and his ÿrst major title. The main thing for Thomas is to not get complacent. He’s a competitor and doesn’t want to rest on his award-winning campaign – he’s eyeing another one. Well he already has a win in the

Let’s be clear: Matsuyama, the twotime defending Phoenix Open champion, knows what he’s doing. And there’s no reason he should shrink his work ethic, as his hustle has taken him far in golf. But it seems like he puts a lot of pressure on himself. That tends to come out in his odd,
2017-18 season, so that should help. But if Thomas wants to replicate or surpass last season, his biggest key is to be more consistent. As strong as his 2016-17 season was, it was mostly a campaign about taking advantage of extremely strong spurts. Thomas won three times in ÿve starts early in the wraparound and then won two of three starts (and posted a late runner-up and T-6) near season’s end. In between, he had his moments, but Thomas was also a non-factor far too often for a player of his caliber between February and July. In that stretch, Thomas played 14 PGA Tour events. His numbers: four top 10s but six missed cuts and three other ÿnishes of T-39 or worse. It’s not too likely that Thomas can win as much this season if he has another prolonged stretch like that – as good as he is, Thomas taking such advantage of small spurts like he did last season is probably not replicable. By being more consistent and avoiding those lulls, Thomas gives himself more opportunities over a season to win and thus could have a potent follow-up campaign. And hey, if it turns out he can win much of the time he’s in contention (as was the case in 2016-17), then we may be looking toward an astronomical number of victories this season. Jordan Spieth: Finish off career grand slam The idea of conquering Augusta National again has to be in Spieth’s mind as he looks to avenge what happened there in 2016. But ÿnishing o‘ the career grand slam comes ÿrst, especially in the history books. Spieth will have to wait to act on this resolution, as he needs the PGA Championship to cap the career grand slam. He got his ÿrst attempt last year but could only muster a tie for 28th. The 24 -year-old probably has decades to ÿnish this o‘ , but he might as well get it done as soon as possible. He’d be the sixth to do it on the men’s side, and if he ÿnishes it o‘ in 2018, only Woods will have accomplished it at a younger age. At this point, Spieth should look toward history, and ÿnishing o‘ the career grand slam now would be another huge notch for him in the record books.

Waste Management Phoenix Open Preview
Major in Arizona poses challenges PGA Championship date change opens possibility John Davis Special to Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK
As the Waste Management Phoenix Open prepares to tee off this week, some prominent members of the Valley golf community are contemplating the prospect of hosting an even “bigger” event in the future. While it is doubtful that it would exceed the attendance of the tournament at TPC Scottsdale, it certainly would surpass it in prestige. Scorching summer heat long has been the biggest obstacle in bringing a major golf championship to the Valley, but that will be removed in 2019 when the PGA Championship changes its dates. Instead of being played in August, as it has been since 1972, it will move to May. That might close the door to some venues in the Midwest and Northeast, but would create new opportunities for those across the South and Southwest. Texas hasn’t hosted a major since 1969 and Florida since 1987. “We certainly would be open to bringing the event to Arizona if there is a suitable venue for it,” said Kerry Haigh, the chief championships o“cer for the PGA of America. “One of the big reasons in changing dates was to make it available to new venues where summer climate has been prohibitive.” The U.S. Open and PGA are the only majors hosted by various U.S. cities. Since the USGA has no plans to change the June time frame for its championship, it would leave the PGA as the only viable option for the Valley. But weather isn’t the only hurdle that needs to be cleared. The host site would require a course that meets major championship standards for quality and di“culty , along with providing massive infrastructure needs. “The date change certainly makes it much more feasible because it removes a huge obstacle, but there are still many more factors that come into play,” said Valley resident Mark Kizziar, a former PGA president who has served as chairman for the PGA Championship and Ryder Cup matches. “I think there are golf facilities in the Valley that could handle it with some modiÿcations, but it might take a few years to pull it all together. Infrastructure for majors has become a tremendous undertaking and that need would eliminate a lot of courses.” PGA venues already are booked through 2028 except for ’25 and ’26, and those dates could be ÿlled by the end of the year. Haigh said no Arizona venues have contacted the PGA about potentially hosting the event, but noted, “We just announced the date change a few months ago, so I wouldn’t expect that to happen this soon.” Through their history, majors have steered clear of courses that feature palm trees and cacti. One issue is that desert-style courses, in particular, include environmentally sensitive areas where infrastructure would be required and where spectators normally would walk and congregate. That makes it much more di“cult for crowds of 50,000 or more per day to move through those courses. So what are the possible venues? The one mentioned most often is TPC Scottsdale because of its experience in hosting the largest galleries in golf and ability to meet infrastructure needs. But there are other issues and timing, again, is the most daunting among them. Using the dates when the Phoenix Open typically is played, it would leave just three months in which to turn the course around in time to host a PGA. Considering that it takes four months to set the course up for the Phoenix Open and two months to tear it down, that would not leave nearly enough time to prepare. “The only way I think it could happen is if they used the same build that we have for the Phoenix Open,” TPC general manager Brad Williams said. “I don’t know how we could turn it around otherwise. “I don’t know what changes, if any, they would need to make to the course, but it would have to be something that meets the needs of our regular clientele.” In some cases, Haigh said, the PGA would pay for a portion of changes to a course, depending on whether they are made speciÿc to the event. He added that the PGA would not use the same setup outside the ropes as the Phoenix Open and would not allow the peripheral events that have created a party atmosphere and made the Open popular with fans. “All of that works great for their PGA Tour event and it has been very successful, but our needs would be far different

for a major championship,” Haigh said. “We might be able to use a small portion of their build-out but most of it would need to go.” Changing Phoenix Open dates for one year or not holding the event to accommodate a major championship would be unlikely. “For starters, the PGA Tour decides the schedule,” Phoenix Open chairman Carlos Sugich said. “It’s not up to us. The Thunderbirds have a contract with the tour to hold an event on the dates they specify. To change that or not play it would be a breach of contract.” This will be the 83rd year for the Open, making it the sixth-oldest event on the tour. Last year’s event eclipsed 600,000 fans for the ÿrst time and the economic impact is substantial. An ASU study in 2017 showed that it had an impact of nearly $390 million on the Valley, which is nearly quadruple the impact the PGA has had on host cities in recent years. The Open also raised more than $10 million for local charities last year and, in its history, has donated more than $122 million. “Obviously, there would be some major ramiÿcations if our tournament was not played,” Sugich said. “But I deÿnitely think the Valley would support both events.”
If the TPC is out of the picture, the venue possibilities become slim, mainly because of the infrastructure that would be necessary to accommodate golfers, PGA staff, media, spectators and hospitality areas. “One thing people don’t realize is that we have virtually miles of ÿber running under our course, which we add to every year to meet the needs of media and tournament operations,” Williams said. “No other course is going to have that because there really is no need for it.” Haigh said a potential venue also would need to be in an area with a substantial service industry, parking for thousands of spectators and service vehicles, good commuter access and a major airport. “When I was chairman in the early ‘80s, I was responsible for every single thing on the property, right down to where every port-a-john was placed, but things are far different now,” Kizziar said. “Over the years, infrastructure has become such a huge issue for major championships. It might even be bigger than the quality of the course itself.” Among other Valley venues that might be considered, Phoenix-owned Papago Golf Course has been mentioned as a possible site. The Arizona Golf Community Foundation, whose president is Grayhawk developer Gregg Tryhus, was created in part to enhance the stature of Papago. The future home course for Arizona State golf, Papago, in its heyday, was considered one of the ÿnest municipal layouts in the country, hosting the U.S. Public Links Championship in 1971. It underwent a restoration in 2008 and has a multi-million-dollar project underway to build a new clubhouse and practice area designed in part by Phil Mickelson. Mark Woodward of OB Sports is senior vice president of operations for Pa-
pago. He formerly was golf operations manager for the city of San Diego and was largely responsible for the renovation of Torrey Pines, which allowed it to host a U.S. Open in 2008. With the Papago Park area, zoo and nearby Phoenix Municipal Stadium it probably would have su“cient parking but would face other infrastructure issues. “The course itself would be good enough. A couple tee changes, and it has everything you would need,” Arizona Golf Association executive director Ed Gowan said. “But the infrastructure that comes with a major is so critical and that could be quite problematic. “So much construction would be required for temporary facilities, and the big question is whether the city would tolerate disturbing those desert areas. You might need 50 acres of space for all of that and the public outcry against it probably would be signiÿcant.” There is precedent for municipal courses hosting major championships, with Torrey Pines, Bethpage Black and Chambers Bay staging U.S. Opens in recent years, and the PGA will be played at Bethpage in 2019 and TPC Harding Park in 2020. We-Ko-Pa Golf Club in Fort McDowell, which has two courses, has been ranked by some magazines as the best public facility in the state, but general manager Matt Barr said it isn’t equipped to host a major. “I think we have the course to meet their needs and we would love to host an event like that, but we are really not set up for it,” Barr said. “Our course isn’t designed to handle something of that magnitude as far as accommodating fans and players.” Grayhawk Golf Club has hosted smaller PGA Tour events in the past and recently was chosen to stage men’s and women’s NCAA Championships for three consecutive years, starting in 2020. Its location might allow it to use parking and other amenities of the Phoenix Open, but it also might have di“culty moving massive galleries through either of its desert-style courses. Desert Mountain and Superstition Mountain, both of which feature Jack Nicklaus-designed courses, have hosted Champions Tour events but attendance for a major would be far greater and all of those courses are desert-style layouts. Outside of the Valley, the most likely candidate might be The Gallery Golf Club in Marana, which served as host of the World Golf Championships-World Match Play on its South Course in 2007 and ’08. It is regarded as one of the country’s best modern courses but those WGC events featured much smaller galleries than the PGA would draw and, even at that, commuter access was a challenge. The bottom line is that the largest roadblock for hosting a major has been removed, but some big hurdles remain. “It would be a wonderful thing for Arizona and for the golf community to have both a PGA and Phoenix Open in the same year and our fans certainly have shown their support for golf here,” Sugich said. “The Thunderbirds would fully support bringing a major here and help in any way that we could, but there deÿnitely are issues that would need to be worked out.”

Everything you need to know about Birds Nest Year, Top Streaming Song and Top Country Song. His ÿrst album, “Country Grammar,” has sold more than 8.4 million copies in the United States alone. In October, Nelly was arrested in Auburn, Wash., outside Seattle, on suspicion of second-degree rape after a woman alleged that he invited her onto his tour bus earlier that morning and raped her. In December, it was revealed that he would not be charged. (8:30 p.m. Saturday)
Ed Masley Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK
Will Nelly and Florida Georgia Line get together and treat the fans to “Cruise” at this year’s Coors Light Birds Nest concert series? Both acts are scheduled to be there, just not the same night. There’s a Florida theme, which does not seem intentional. Here’s the lineup: z The concert series kicks o’ Wednesday, Jan. 31, with Flo Rida and Kelley James. z Florida Georgia Line and Chris Lane take the stage on Thursday, Feb. 1. z OneRepublic, Cash Cash and Natty Rico will perform Friday, Feb. 2. z And the concert series winds down Saturday with Nelly and Zedd.
Zedd
Flo Rida This is Flo Rida’s second appearance in two years at the Birds Nest, with Kelley James opening. The rapper started o’ 2008 at No. 1 with “Low,” which held on for a 10-week run unmatched by any single since Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable” — the biggest di’ erence being that Beyonce was a superstar by then, while “Low” was the Florida rapper’s ÿrst ošcial single (and the biggest single of 2008). He was back at No. 1 in 2009 with “Right Round” and again in 2012 with “Whistle.” But in much the same way that the Beatles’ legacy extends beyond the chart-toppers on “1,” the man has had plenty of non-chart-topping hits that people know and love, including the multi-platinum “In the Ayer,” “Club Can’t Handle Me,” “Good Feeling,” “Wild Ones,” “I Cry,” “G.D.F.R.” and “My House.” (8:30 p.m. Wednesday)
Kelley James This Birds Nest staple is a singersongwriter whose music is a blend of rock, pop and the beachside vibes he grew up loving as a California native. According to his website, “Kelley’s signature sound creatively combines acoustic guitar with clever lyrics and freestyle vocal ri’ s that instantly convert all attendees of his live shows into loyal fans.” His latest album, “The Pattern Transcending,” went Top 20 spot on the iTunes singer/songwriter charts. (6:30 p.m. Wednesday)
Florida Georgia Line The duo’s 10-times-platinum breakthrough single, “Cruise,” topped Billboard’s country chart on the way to becoming the fastest-selling single by a country duo in digital history, inspiring a remix with rapping by Nelly. Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line perform onstage during day 3 of the 2017 CMA Music Festival on June 10, 2017 in Nashville, Tennessee. Four subsequent singles topped the country charts while going multi-platinum – “Stay,” the Luke Bryan-assisted “This is How We Roll,” “Dirt” and last

year’s “H.O.L.Y.,” the lead single from their latest album, “Dig Your Roots.” (8:30 p.m. Thursday)
Chris Lane Lane topped the country airplay charts with “Fix,” a falsetto-fueled love song, in 2015. And he lived up to that promise of that breakthrough when a second single, “For Her,” peaked at No. 10 on that same chart, both singles going gold. As Lane explained to Rolling Stone in that same article, “Country music has room for a little bit of everything. You’ve got Chris Stapleton doing what he’s doing, and Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line. . . Everyone has their own lane, and we felt like the falsetto was my lane.” (6:30 p.m. Thursday)
OneRepublic These guys hit the mainstream in 2007 with “Apologize,” a dramatic ÿrst single that’s sold more than 5 million copies and brie“y held the record for most airplay in a single week. Their other hits include the multi-platinum “Stop and Stare,” “All the Right Moves,” “Secrets,” “Good Life” and their biggest hit to date, 2013’s “Counting Stars.” Front man Ryan Tedder has written and/or produced songs for Beyoncé, Kel-
This trio of DJs – brothers Jean Paul and Alex Makhlouf, with Samuel Frisch – went platinum with 2013’s “Take Me Home” a breakthrough hit that features pop sensation Bebe Rexha on guest vocals. Other club hits of note include “Surrender,” “How to Love” and “Millionaire.” They’ve also done ošcial remixes for such acts as Krewella, Capital Cities, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and Icona Pop. (6:30 p.m. Friday)
Natty Rico This Miami-based musician bills himself as “the only DJ sax player performer.” He’s shared stages and recorded with the likes of Major Lazer, David Guetta, Jennifer Hudson, Beenie Man and many others. His recording of “Frozen,” which featured Melissa Moinaro, Done & Frankie J, spent nine weeks on the Billboard dance chart, where it peaked at No. 22. (5 p.m. Friday)
Nelly Nelly’s hits include the double-platinum “Hot in Herre” and the four-timesplatinum comeback single “Just a Dream.” He won two Grammys in 2003 – for Best Male Rap Solo Performance (with the double-platinum “Hot in Herre”) and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (“Dilemma”) with Kelly Rowland. In 2004, he won another Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo/Group (“Shake Ya Tailfeather”) with P. Diddy and Murphy Lee. He’s won a total of nine Billboard Music Awards, including Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Rap Artist, R&B/HipHop Male Artist of the Year, Hot 100 Singles Artist of the Year, Hot 100 Singles Male Artist of the Year, Rap Track of the
Zedd is a multi-platinum, Grammywinning artist who made his debut with “Clarity.” That album sent two multiplatinum singles up the charts — the title track, which peaked at No. 8 featured Foxes and “Stay the Night,” which featured Hayley Williams and peaked at No. 18. His second album, “True Colors,” spawned another hit with “I Want to You Know,” with Selena Gomez on guest vocals, which peaked at No. 17 and spent four weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. Last year, he peaked at No. 7 with the doubleplatinum “Stay,” which featured Alessia Cara. (6:30 p.m. Saturday)
DJ Vice An L.A. native, Vice is well-known on the club scene with residencies in Vegas, New York and Miami. Vice has also remixed tracks for such artists as Linkin Park, Rihanna, Capital Cities and Tegan & Sara. (5 p.m. Saturday)
