The Greater Jacksonville Open was a PGA Tour event that was played from 1945 until 1976. Shortly after World War II, the Jacksonville Open began play as a PGA Tour event in Jacksonville, Florida until it was discontinued in the mid-1950s. In the mid-1960s, the PGA Tour came to town again. This time the event was initially named the Jacksonville Open again and changed for the 1968 event to the Jacksonville Open Invitational. The name was changed to the Greater Jacksonville Open for the 1969 event. The Greater Jacksonville Open was discontinued after the 1976 tournament when the PGA Tour decided to relocate The Players Championship to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The PGA Tour had been looking for some time for a permanent home for the marquee event which has professional golf's highest prize fund and is sometimes referred to as the "fifth major". The Players Championship had been played at the Atlanta Country Club in Marietta, Georgia in 1974, the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth in 1975 and at the Inverrary Country Club in Ft. Lauderdale in 1976. The Greater Jacksonville Open laid the groundwork and provided much of the infrastructure for the modern Players Championship, which was first played in Ponte Vedra Beach in 1977. ==Winners== Greater Jacksonville Open *1976 Hubert Green *1975 Larry Ziegler *1974 Hubert Green *1973 Jim Colbert *1972 Tony Jacklin *1971 Gary Player *1970 Don January *1969 Raymond Floyd Jacksonville Open Invitational *1968 Tony Jacklin Jacksonville Open *1967 Dan Sikes *1966 Doug Sanders *1965 Bert Weaver *1954-64 ''No tournament'' *1953 Lew Worsham *1952 Doug Ford *1951 Jim Ferrier *1950 Cary Middlecoff *1949 Cary Middlecoff *1948 Chick Harbert *1947 Clayton Heafner *1946 Sam Snead *1945 Sam Snead 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greater Jacksonville Open」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
