The Memorial Tournament has been one of the staples of the PGA Tour since 1974, and it always attracts one of the strongest fields in golf. Part of the reason for this is the widespread admiration for tournament host Jack Nicklaus, and another factor is that Muirfield Village is one of the most well-respected and adored venues on Tour. For this reason, it was an easy decision for the Tour to grant this event elevated status, and as a result, we will be graced this week with many of the best players in the world.
Billy Horschel will return to defend his title, and he will be challenged by two-time Memorial champion Patrick Cantlay, former Memorial champion Jon Rahm, and Collin Morikawa, who has also won at Muirfield Village. We will get our eyes on Rory McIlroy again for the first time since an up-and-down PGA Championship, and Scottie Scheffler will also look to continue his historically consistent season. The Memorial is an event with a ton of wonderful history, and we are surely in store for one of the best weeks of the entire season.
