"The only conversations we have had (about moving) was with the 2016 season", said Grube, referring to the move to the first week of August previous year to accommodate golf returning to the Olympic Games.
CHARLOTTE - Jordan Spieth admits there will be pressure this week. "Doing what we did previous year, being able to win this tournament and set yourself up for basically the rest of your career, is just a nice - it's a huge relief".
"The guy", Els pointed out, "finds a way of getting it done".
Won last week's World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational to serve notice he has the game for a breakthrough major triumph at Quail Hollow, what would be the first by any Japanese man and only the second for any Asian man after South Korean Yang Yong-Eun at the 2009 PGA at Hazeltine.
The schedule features one big event a month from the Players in March as a tune-up for the Masters in April, with the PGA now in mid-May, the US Open in mid-June and the British Open in mid-July ahead of the US PGA playoffs and a Ryder or Presidents Cup.
But oddly enough, McIlroy appears to be treating this week more like a Waste Management Phoenix Open than a final chance to add to his major tally before next spring. I'm not going to lie.
The 39-year-old American enjoyed his best major finish with a runner-up effort behind Spieth at the British Open.

"I'm feeling better, a lot better than I have, and it's nice", Walker said at a news conference at Quail Hollow on Tuesday. There was added pressure - if only slightly - and more expectations when he considered the prospect of winning them all in the same year.
World number two Spieth, who does not possess Woods' long-hitting power, has carved out his success with precise iron play, a brilliant short game and an ability to cope with adversity.
And McIlroy has s strong history at Quail Hollow.
Spieth said he has also drawn strength from his most painful defeat, when he squandered a five-shot lead on Sunday's back nine at the 2016 Masters, enduring the humiliation of drowning two shots in Rae's Creek on the way to quadruple bogey seven at the short par-three 12th. "I think it's about time I stepped up and won one".
McIlroy said confidence is a powerful factor in golf. "I call it resilience".
"I know why it's happening". "There are little hollows, and you go down, and you come back up".
