A busy three-week period on the PGA Tour begins this week with the 2024 Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village. Serving as an appetizer for the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, the Memorial will host the PGA Tour’s top players as it once again assumes signature status.
Cutting the course at the 36-hole mark like the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Genesis Invitational, the Memorial represents the last chance for players to improve their game. One game that needs little improvement is Scottie Scheffler’s. The world No. 1 arrives in Ohio as the favorite following his top-10 performance at the PGA Championship and runner-up finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Finishing one shot out of the playoffs in this event a season ago, Scheffler tries to make a name for himself at Jack’s with a co-op putter in tow.
Speaking of cooperative, this could be an adjective to describe Xander Schauffele’s game. The PGA Championship winner makes his first start since becoming a major champion at a venue where he has connected on five consecutive top-25 finishes. With a big win under his belt, the world No. 2 could be about to chase Scheffler.
Rory McIlroy completes the three-headed monster sitting atop this field. A two-time winner this season, McIlroy experienced a great Canadian Open in Ontario last week, resulting in a top-five finish. With his iron game looking sharper each week, the four-time major champion is hoping for another strong outing before peaking next week.
While Scheffler, Schauffele and McIlroy have entered the winner’s circle eight times in 2024, many of the PGA Tour’s big names have not. Defending champion Viktor Hovland, two-time major champion Collin Morikawa, Ludvig Åberg, Max Homa, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tony Finau, Tommy Fleetwood and Cameron Young are seeking their first wins of the season at Muirfield Village.
