“Obviously every PGA tour event on the calendar is a great event. We've set into a really great schedule with the Florida swing. We are excited for that move to mid-March, got a little more warmth. It was fun to put on our jackets this week, but I think getting into mid-March. We are very hopeful to continue to have the world-class fields that we have,” said tournament director Andrew George.
