Jacksonville Open Jeopardized By New Playoff Series?!

Garry Smits with the hard to fathom possibility that the Web.com Tour's Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open, played in October currently, either becomes the final event in the new Web.com Tour playoffs or meets its demise because of those playoffs.

However, if one of the other markets wins out, the Jacksonville Open will either move to earlier in the summer (if you think The Players in May is hot, think about 72 holes around here in July or August) or may fold up shop, since it's in the final year of a three-year contract.

That would be a huge shame. The tournament leads Web.com Tour events in charity money raised, the pro-am is a double-shotgun start using both the Valley and the Stadium Course and golf fans have enjoyed a more casual atmosphere than The Players.
