A judge has denied a request for preliminary injunction that could have delayed improvements at TPC Scottsdale, where the Waste Management Open is played.
Scottsdale residents Mark Stuart and John Washington sued Scottsdale, claiming a contract the city entered into to make $15 million in improvements to the golf course complex violates gift clauses in the city’s charter and the Arizona Constitution.
Washington said the plaintiffs made a motion for preliminary injunction to cap the city’s expenditure of taxpayer funds, which was denied. The suit, however, remains pending in court.
