PGA Championship moves to May in 2019. Thoughts?
Heh, I didn't know that. My initial reaction is I don't like it.
I like the current setup with The Players Championship buffering The Masters and The U.S. Open. Will the British Open be the last major, and still played in July? That also seems way too early to wrap up the majors season. I think if they are going to stick with putting the PGA in May, they should make the U.S. Open as the last major of the year.

What was the motivation for this? Ratings?
Ratings, heat in August, more of an emphasis on the FedEx Cup in August and September, the Olympics screwing things up every four years, etc.

Understandable, lame excuse, no one will ever care about the FedEx, nor about Olympic golf.

I actually really enjoyed watching the Rose/Stenson dual in the Olympics last year. They need to add a match play and team component though.
