The tournament is one of eight signature events on the PGA Tour.
After a good performance in the RBC Canadian Open, Rory McIlroy will look to win his first Memorial Tournament – however, this week’s tournament is arguably one of the strongest as Masters Champion Scottie Scheffler, PGA Champion Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland make up some of the field.
Former Open Champion Shane Lowry would love to keep up his good run of form that has seen him win the Zurich Classic alongside Rory McIlroy in late April.
The purse for this week’s event is $20,000,000.
