Maybe moving the Players' Championship back to March was not such a good idea. With weather heavily impacting the 2022 tournament, it appears as if a Tuesday finish is likely. The only problem is, no one knows if that is Tuesday this week or next.
It has been a frustrating time for players, spectators and television teams covering the event. Love it or hate it, the TPC Sawgrass course is an ideal location for the so-called fifth major. Providing entertainment, thrills, and spills for people at the venue and for those of us at home, the closing few holes in particular mean that this particular show is not over until the fat lady sings.

1987: Players Championship
Jeff Sluman looked set to win the 1987 Players Championship in a play-off against Sandy Lyle, before a drunk spectator plunged into the sporting hall of shame.
It should have been a moment in the spotlight for Jeff Sluman. After seven years as a professional, the 29-year-old stood over a putt on the notorious 17th hole at Sawgrass to claim not just his first tournament on the PGA Tour, but the prestigious Players Championship, an event that despite being relatively new, had such a strong field that some had already dubbed it as the fifth major.
