2012 The Players Professional Golf Championship
The 2012 Players Championship is going to be played once again this year at the TPC Sawgrass located at Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida. This tournament was first celebrated back in 1974. The 2012 The Player Championship will be played between May 7th-13th.
The Players Championship can be further distinguished from the "Majors" in that it is owned and administered by the PGA Tour. In contrast, The Masters is owned by the Augusta National Golf Club; the U.S. Open by the United States Golf Association (USGA); the British Open by The R&A, an offshoot of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews; and the PGA Championship by the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA of America).
