Overview
- The 50th Memorial Tournament will be played June 4–7 at Jack Nicklaus’s Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio as a 72-player signature event with a $20 million purse.
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler enters as the odds-on favorite seeking a rare third straight Memorial title and is attracting the largest share of futures and top-five wagers at major sportsbooks.
- Rory McIlroy returns to the field seeking his first Memorial win after a brief break following the PGA Championship and said he hopes this is the week he puts the event together.
- Nine of the world’s top 10 are in the field while Collin Morikawa is absent, nursing a sore back, and recent PGA Champion Aaron Rai is competing as a fresh major winner.
- Muirfield’s tight fairways, firm greens and Nicklaus legacy make the tournament a stern U.S. Open tune-up and the event is renewing questions about PGA Tour scheduling as top stars selectively manage starts.
