PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Jay Monahan remembers it all too well. The PGA Tour commissioner made the call to cancel the final three rounds of The Players Championship and that made things painfully real. The return to TPC Sawgrass for The Players this week is a step, a small one, in a staggered return to normalcy. For Monahan, the Tour staff, the 154 golfers and small army of Players volunteers, it’s a very welcome return to the area. Ad“I think this is an important week for us every single year but particularly so this year,” Monahan said on Tuesday.

AdMonahan remembers missing the opening tee shot for the first time since he joined the PGA Tour as executive director of The Players Championship.
