The Players Executive Director Matt Rapp (right) with Meninak Club of Jacksonville member Hank Haynes, who is in his 43rd year of volunteering for the annual golf tournament. Rapp told members Monday that he wants Northeast Florida’s people and companies to become more involved in the annual worldwide-watched event. The May 9-15 event at TPC Sawgrass, in Ponte Vedra, brings in big-name professional golfers, global exposure and millions for philanthropy, with a $50 million goal over the next 10 years for youth-related charities. Rapp, about a year on the job, said he’s “knocking on wood” that “Tiger most likely will be here,” referring to Tiger Woods but eliciting a shout from member Tiger Tari that “I’m here!”
