On Thursday June 3, the PGA Tour will tee off at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio. Jon Rahm is the defending champion and returns as the +1000 favorite. This event is one of the PGA tour's most prestigious tournaments that is not major, as Jack Nicklaus will host from the Muirfield Village Golf Club.
On Thursday, seven of the world's top 10 players will tee off in this event. The event is the second-to-last tournament prior to the third major of the season, the US Open. Players ranked high in the world rankings teeing off on Thursday include Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McElroy, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Collin Morikawa amongst several others.
Last year two consecutive tournaments were contested at this course with Morikawa winning the Workday Charity Open in a playoff over Thomas, followed by Rahm winning the Memorial by three shots over Ryan Palmer. Last season Rahm’s winning score was in the single digits under par, which was the first time in the last eight Memorial tournaments that the winning score was not in double digits under par.
