Memorial Tournament

Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio is the venue for the Jack Nicklaus hosted Memorial Tournament from 4 to 7 June.

The Course

A par 72 layout, Muirfield Village was designed by Jack Nicklaus and he constantly makes changes to the course. Wide fairways mean long hitters have some freedom but for those that stray too far the rough is challenging. The greens are fairly small and water is often in play. The winner is likely to be a lengthy but accurate driver with strong iron play for the challenging approach shots.
