While The Players Championship doesn't yet hold wide recognition as a formal golf major, the First Coast still holds a long connection with success in the sport's classic four majors.

The Players will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024 so it's had time. And the fact that it still isn't widely recognized as a major has more to do with how entrenched the other four are. Six of Jones' majors were amateur events, five U.S, Opens and one British Open. And in 1930, when he won all four in one year, New York sportswriter George Trevor termed the feat,"the impregnable quadrilateral."
Woods followed the same script that Nicklaus and Palmer did: save his best for the majors, which only further served to keep their status at the top of the worldwide tournament food chain intact.Obviously, the majors have a rich history. The British Open is the oldest golf tournament in the world, having started in 1863. The U.S. Open launched in 1895, the PGA in 1916 and the Masters in 1934.
