The tour was back at Jack Nicklaus’ place with the top players in the world playing in another signature event, the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village in Ohio. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was the defending champion and back to attempt to win his third event of the year,

The PGA Tour headed back to Columbus, Ohio, for Jack Nicklaus's Memorial Tournament, a legacy signature event on Tour. That meant a $20 million purse but with an increased winner's check, to $4 million.
