Va. | 500 | Xander Schauffele ›› The Old White rebounded fabulously from flooding that canceled the 2016 event, and Schauffele jumpstarted his rookie-of-the-year campaign with a win in the West Virginia mountains. vsga.org May 10-13: The Players Championship | TPC Sawgrass | Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. | 600 | Si Woo Kim ›› The last May hurrah before the Play- ers settles into its new March schedule spot in ’19.
