According to a report in Golf Digest, after a month of stoppage, Pro Golf is set to restart the season on June 11 at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.  By then it will have been three months since they last played (1st round, Players Championship last March).

And for many of us, the sooner the better!
