Nick Saban grabs key role — at Chase Field — for the WM Phoenix Open Tee-Off Luncheon

Nick Saban, firmly in the "greatest college football coach" conversation, is heading for Phoenix to speak at the WM Phoenix Open Tee-Off Luncheon on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at Chase Field.

Saban made his first appearance at the Phoenix Open this past February, participating in the 2024 Annexus Pro-Am and the WHOOP Shot at Glory at the famed 16 ^th hole.

Tickets for the luncheon, to be held on the baseball field at Chase, are $350 per person or $3,000 for a table of 10. To order, visit axs.com/festivals/683090 .

“The Tee-Off Luncheon is our signature event where we officially kick off Open season and tell our WM Phoenix Open community about what’s in store for the upcoming year,” tourney chairman Matt Mooney said in a news release.

“We are honored to welcome legendary coach Nick Saban to the stage, where he will not only reflect on his extraordinary coaching journey but also share insights from his personal experience playing in last year’s Annexus Pro-Am and Shot at Glory.”

Saban coached the University of Alabama from 2007-23, winning six national titles. He won his first of seven titles with LSU in 2003 and was head coach of the NFL's Miami Dolphins along with Michigan State University and the University of Toledo.

Now working for ESPN's "College GameDay," Saban's career record as a college head coach is 292–71–1.

The 2025 Phoenix Open week is Feb. 3-9 at TPC Scottsdale.
