Just out of curiosity how many people in here are planning on going to the The Players Championship
this week? To either the practice rounds Tues/Wed or the actual tournament rounds Thurs-Sunday.
Or are you just going to watch the tournament on the tube (The Golf Channel on Thurs/Fri and on NBC Sat/Sun)

My guess is not many. Unless its a major golf on TV gets horrendous ratings.

And no, there is no such thing as a '5th major'.

The TPC has a bigger purse than any of the four "majors".

Actually both the Senior Tour and the Womens LPGA Tour both have 5 Major events a year. The only thing keeping the TPC from achieving Major Status is the fact that the international players wouldn't stand for there to be another Major in the USA where you already have 3 of the current 4 Majors. If the TPC were held anywhere else but in the USA it would probably already be considered a Major.

Actually the Memorial tournament in Dublin, Ohio is considered a higher ranked non-major than TPC. That's Jack's course.

plus, the course conditions aren't any harder than normal stops on the tour.

Based on what? The Memorial year in year out has a field that's comparable to the Players, but only 1 tournament is referred to as the "5th Major."
