PGA Championship to May, Players to March
The PGA of America officially announced on Tuesday that it's moving the PGA Championship from its traditional August date to May. This coincides with the PGA Tour dropping the Players Championship to March, and, though PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan did not officially state this intention — it's expected the FedEx Cup will be rescheduled for August.
