‘Dawgs to Try a Shot of Jack

Tournament: Memorial Tournament, June 1-4

Course: Muirfield Village GC, 7,392 yards, par 72.

Purse: $8,700,000.

Defending Champion: William McGirt. The somewhat-journeyman won his first PGA tournament here last year, making some clutch par saves (nothing was easy) and winning on the 2nd playoff hole over Jon Curran.

Fun Fact: This is the only course to have hosted the three major US team-format tournaments: Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, Solheim Cup. This is a very highly ranked course, and on my personal top 10 bucket list. Visioned, purchased, designed, built, and owned by Jack Nicklaus.
