The PGA Championship has minimal juice compared to the other three majors. 4 out of 5 dentists and golf enthusiasts would rather watch The Players.

Agree it pales in comparison to other 3, dont think moving it to May helped. Personally disagree on Players though, as I think Sawgrass is overhyped and 17 is gimmicky. 

But im old school and love the US open on tough tracks and the Open with lots of rough weather and carnage, and no what it has generally been in recent years, links golf with scores you see at the 3M Open or John Deere Classic.

17 is unique.  Not an argumentative question - why is it gimmicky?

Agreed on move to May, I liked it better in August where it felt like a natural end to the golf season.  Now the PGA Tour runs out of a lot of steam in July after The Open is finished knowing we have to wait until April until the next major.
