Abstract/Contents:Discusses potential changes to The Players Championship (TPC), held at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. States that "what hurts the [TPC] is the aura desperately lacking in what otherwise is a local event...[and] the atmosphere at The Players Championship is closer to the PGA Tour stops in Phoenix [Arizona] or Dallas [Texas] than major championships at Olympic Club or Hazeline." Concludes that "the reason most golf fans go to a major is to watch golf. [They] don't get that at Sawgrass, where golf is a diversion to pass the time while standing in the beer line or waiting for the next ball to miss the island-green 17th."
