The 2025 Memorial Tournament presented by Workday returns to Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, from May 29 to June 1, celebrating its 50th anniversary. Founded in 1976 by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, this tournament is one of the PGA TOUR’s most anticipated and signature events, attracting many of the world’s top-ranked players and delivering high-stakes drama on one of the most respected courses in the entire game of golf.
This year’s field is particularly strong, headlined by the world’s number one and defending champion Scottie Scheffler. He’ll be joined by four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, two-time Memorial champion Patrick Cantlay, 2022 U.S. Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele, all currently ranked inside the world’s top 10. Past champions like Hideki Matsuyama and other well known players such as Shane Lowry round show the results of their lifelong hard work and training on a field stacked with talent.
Muirfield Village Golf Club, often referred to as “Jack’s Place,” is known for its immaculate bentgrass greens, demanding fairways, and a layout that is constructed around the techniques of precision and strategy. Playing at a par 72 over 7,569 yards, it’s a true test of championship golf. The tournament’s investment of $20 million reflects its status as a premier event on the tour, with FedExCup and world ranking points to be claimed by players.
Off the course, the Memorial is just as impactful. The tournament has supported Nationwide Children’s Hospital and other charitable efforts for many years. This year, Barbara Nicklaus will be honored for her philanthropic legacy, and journalist Bob Baptist will receive the Memorial Golf Journalism Award, adding a more meaningful feel to the game this year.
Fans attending the tournament can enjoy a full week of experiences, including the Workday Golden Bear Pro-Am, practice rounds, and the Memorial Honoree Ceremony. On the evenings of May 30 and 31, the Fore Fest street festival in Dublin’s Bridge Park will feature live music, food trucks, family-friendly activities, and even a drone light show to celebrate the tournament.
As the Memorial Tournament celebrates its 50th edition, it remains a unique blend of elite golf, community involvement, and entertainment — a true highlight of the PGA TOUR season. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, the 2025 Memorial promises a week to remember and will get you hooked to the sport of golf.
