The Memorial Tournament presented by Workday is an annual golf event held at the prestigious Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Founded by golf legend Jack Nicklaus in 1976, the tournament has become a staple on the PGA Tour schedule and is known for its powerful field and demanding course.

Muirfield Village Golf Club

Muirfield Village is a par 72 course that stretches over 7,543 yards. Designed by Jack Nicklaus himself, the track is known for its demanding layout, which requires precision and strategy from players. In addition, the course features undulating greens and numerous water hazards, making it a true test of skill for even the best golfers in the world.

The 2022 Memorial Tournament had an exciting finish, with Billy Horschel emerging as the winner after a thrilling playoff. The defending champion will undoubtedly try to repeat his success in 2023, but he will face stiff competition in a field full of talented golfers. Moreover, he is not currently among the TOP 10 favorites to win o torneio.

Principais concorrentes

O Memorial Tournament, um dos principais torneios do PGA Tour, sempre atrai um grande número de jogadores. Alguns dos principais concorrentes a serem observados em 2023 incluem:

Scottie Scheffler

Este jogador de golfe tem estado em excelente forma recentemente, com vários resultados entre os 10 primeiros nos últimos meses. Seu jogo de ferro preciso e suas tacadas poderosas fazem dele uma séria ameaça em Muirfield Village.

While it would be unfair to count on him continuing to deliver as often as he has, Scheffler comes in on the heels of a streak of back-to-back T5-T2-T3s over several weeks. Ele também completou sua última visita a Muirfield Village sozinho em terceiro lugar em 2021.

Jon Rahm

As a former Memorial Tournament winner, this golfer knows what it takes to conquer Muirfield Village. His experience and knowledge of the course will be invaluable in adding another trophy to his collection.

Although a forgettable T50 at Oak Hill was frustrating, this season, the four-time major champion’s May has been comparatively stress-free. Ele lidera em outras estatísticas, pontuação ajustada e FedExCup. Ele também foi campeão do Memorial (2020).

Patrick Cantlay

Conhecido por sua consistência e capacidade de obter resultados, este jogador de golfe tem resistência mental para ter sucesso no Torneio Memorial. Além disso, este jogador permanece no topo do ranking mundial há vários meses.

Patrick Cantlay lidera os ganhos de todos os tempos do Muirfield Village, enquanto Tiger Woods está ausente. With two wins (2019, 2021), a T3, and a solo fourth, Cantlay has a 6-for-6 record. In addition, he has been steady as a rock the last few months, with nine consecutive top-25 finishes.

História do torneio

Aside from the title fight, the Memorial Tournament always has many interesting storylines. Some of the key storylines for 2023 are:

• A rivalidade contínua entre os melhores jogadores de golfe do mundo, lutando por uma posição no Ranking Mundial Oficial de Golfe.
• A corrida pela FedExCup, com jogadores buscando acumular pontos e garantir sua vaga no Tour Championship que encerra a temporada.
• A luta pelo prestigiado Prémio Jack Nicklaus, atribuído ao melhor jogador do ano no PGA Tour, é muitas vezes influenciada pelo seu desempenho em eventos tão importantes como o Memorial Tournament.
