Players Championship returns to March date this week.. Thursday Tee Times

PGA Tour Players Championship tee times/leaderboard https://www.theplayers.com/tee-times.html

PGA Tour pros are spoiled when it comes to attending tournaments with expensive courtesy cars, luxurious accommodation and clubhouses, complimentary everything including tickets, sightseeing, fishing and hunting trips, sea do's, helicopter and balloon rides, Disneyland.. you name it, sponsors never stop giving to the games elite.

Having said that Graham DeLaet (@GrahamDelaet) tweeted that this week's Players Championship was his favourite to attend, adding nobody takes better care of the players and their families, so Lord only knows what more they can do for them.

With the WGC in Mexico 3 weeks ago began the condensed summer schedule announced by the PGA Tour back in November 2018. Their idea was to get a big event/major each month beginning in March https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/schedule.html

Most big names skipped the Honda Classic (3 of the top 20) to play the Arnold Palmer Invitational, then the Players this week. Many will skip the Valspar at Innisbrook next week to play the WGC Match Play in Texas the following week, and some will stay in Texas to play the Valero in preparation for the Masters (April 11-14), some will take a few days off before heading to Augusta.

The PGA Championship is now in May (16-19) at Bethpage Black, the US Open in June at Pebble Beach, the Open in July (18-21) at Royal Portrush and the Tour Championship in August (22-25)

There is a little trip to Australia for the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne Dec 9-15.

The top 50 in the world are here this week, 1st prize is a staggering $2.25m. Molinari, Tiger, Mickelson DJ etal are in the field as a result and there are 3 Canadians, Adam Hadwin, Corey Connors and Nick Taylor.

I've posted the tee times link above..
