So many seem to come back cold from the 3 week breaks. Look at today, it was a strong field because it's a warm up for the Players Championship, yet most of the big guys don't actually looked that warmed up yet with lots of bugs in their game.
Can they flip a switch in a big tournament, is that the idea?

I don't know that the top players really consider the Players a big deal. They all play it, but I think most will play the week before as building up for the US open, and will play the Players, Byron Nelson and Memorial leading up to it.
I think most of the top guys try to schedule some tournaments leading up to the Masters. Take a break and then gear up for the Players/US Open. Take a break and then they end up playing a lot of golf from mid July to end of September with the Open Championship, PGA championship, WGC, the Playoffs, and the Ryder Cup. If they play all those, they play 8 tournaments in 10 weeks.
