PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. When the PGA Tour announced the cancellation of The PLAYERS Championship after last year’s first-round, Cary Paige remembers it with great detail.
“I found out at 4:23 that Thursday. I was standing in the lounge with a guest when the news came,” Paige recalled.
He’s the managing partner of Ponte Vedra Beach’s Aqua Grill and is hoping to turn a page this year. He says business slowed by mid-March forcing him to furlough 40 employees until early June.
