Is The Players really a major? Russell Henley seems to think so, but I can't help but wonder where we draw the line for what constitutes a "major" event in golf. Just because it’s a big tournament with a great purse doesn’t automatically make it on par with the Masters or the Open Championship. Aren't we risking diluting the prestige of true majors by labeling every significant event as such?
What do you all think? Should The Players be recognized as a major, or do we need to keep that title for a select few?
