So none of our guys are in the Players Championship. Do you need to be at a certain qualifying level to get in? I thought it was open to all PGA players, thus the name. Kelly should have at least qualified.

Not open to the usual top 125 money list guys. PGA has looked at The Players as a 5th major and even moved the event from March to May so they could play "majors" in consecutive months from April/May/June/July/August but they are moving the Players back to March I think in 2019? Qualifying is similar to majors but I don't remember all the details. Largest purse on the tour so field is as strong as any. I've been going to this tournament every year since '93 as one of my H.S. bball teammates lives in Ponte Vedra and we do an annual team reunion for this event. It was best when played the same weekend as the sweet 16 and we hope it returns to that weekend.

Players is one my wife and I are planning to attend in the next year or two.

I got curious about the field for this year's Players and found this. Scroll down for this year's field and qualifications:

So if I read it correctly, Colt is eligible but not playing.

still recovering from injury & surgery

If Kelly keeps up his good play he will get in next year, and Colt should get a medical exemption. Bryson needs to pick up his game.

plus 2 opening round at the Nelson

missed cut; no Mustangs playing this weekend

Nice ad Bryson has with Microsoft.

Still struggling

Saw that Bryson qualified for the US Open yesterday.

Bryson misses another cut at the St Jude; undoubtedly focused on The Open

plus 4 and misses cut at the Open

Sponsors can't be too happy
