PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- The idea was to get out of the shadow of the Masters, offer a stand-alone championship that would give golf one marquee event from April through August, and perhaps even present a stronger test to the best players and the best field of the year.
Ten years ago, the Players Championship moved to May, taking a spot on Mother's Day weekend, capped by a rousing Phil Mickelson victory.
Now there is talk about blowing all that up.
It is far from a done deal, and there is no certainty that it will even happen.
