2025 PGA Tour

The Jack Nicklaus hosted "Memorial Tournament will be played this weekend at Muirfield in Dublin, Ohio. Although not a Major, I always enjoy this tournament! Only 72 players are in and a cut line to the top 50 and a purse of $20 million. It should be exciting and competitive.
Among the bigger names participating is World Number one Scottie Scheffler. Here some others.

Justin Thomas
Viktor Hovland
Xander Schaufele
Jordan Spieth
Justin Rose
Rickie Fowler
Adam Scott

I'm surprised Rory McIIroy is not in the field?
I'm quite sure Jack is too!

Rory disrespected Jack by not calling him to let him know he wouldn't be playing. He also refused to talk to the media after all four rounds of the PGA Championship the other week. Very unusual behavior by Rory.

Rory McIlroy's Run Of Odd Decisions Continues After He Doesn't Call Jack Nicklaus About Skipping Memorial

McIlroy didn't let Nicklaus know he wasn't teeing it up in the Memorial, a signature event on Tour.

The Memorial is already proving to be a challenging course as only 5 of the first 38 players to tee off are under par.
Rickie Fowler is -2 through 12.
Hovland -1
Rose E
Spieth +2
 
I was able to watch some of the second round of The Memorial and see Jordan Spieth birdie three of his last four holes and four of the last six! He worked his way into contention at -3 and a T-5! It looks to me that Spieth is really close to getting back to his old self, but who knows. I really believe he's trying. However, if he's going to win he'll have to deal with world number one Scottie Scheffler who was -2 today and finished at -4 and fourth place alone.
Here are the top 5 going into the third round. The Memorial would be a nice tournament for Spieth to win as he respects the game and former players like Jack Nicklaus! Spieth had to get an invite from Nicklaus to get into the tournament and respectfully accepted!
1. Taylor -7
1. Griffin -7
3. Bhatia -5
4. Scheffler -4
5. Spieth -3
5. Burns -3
5. Lowry -3
Worth mentioning Chapel Hill, NC's Ben Griffin who won last week's Charles Schwab Challenge is tied for first!
 
Another win for Scottie! He goes back to back in Jack's tournament and now has 16 PGA tour wins in the last 3 1/2 years, plus an Olympic gold medal. Only Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods got to 16 wins after their first one quicker than Scottie. Yet my guess is that ESPN's website won't have the requisite six articles about Scottie that it did every time Tiger won or was in contention. And Rich Lerner and his pet monkey Brandel Chamblee will still be talking more about Tiger than Scottie on the Golf Channel in the lead-up to the U.S. Open. Such a Clown World we live in, great to see Scheffler being so dominant.

Don, that is exactly what Brandel Chamblee is. Great call. I can't stand them.
 
Another fantastic finish, this week at the Traveler's Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut. This tournament seems to have great drama every year and this year was no exception. Tommy Fleetwood, the likeable Englishman who is ranked 17th in the world rankings but has yet to win on the PGA Tour despite being close many times, was ahead for most of the tournament before crumbling on the last few holes. The long-haired Fleetwood has finished in the top ten in 43 PGA tournaments, including being in the hunt in several majors, without winning any of them. Across the pond he has won eight tournaments and has been quite successful in the Ryder Cup, but like Scotsman Colin Montgomery just couldn't win here though everything was set up for that to end today.

Instead, this year's Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley overcame Fleetwood with some great shot making and putts, and pulled off the win on the final hole. So you had Bradley, the New Englander from Vermont who will be leading the U.S. Ryder Cup team in a few months against Fleetwood & Co., winning in New England over an Englishman who has been close so many times but failed again.

Meanwhile, the girls had a major this weekend, the LPGA Championship, played in Frisco, Texas. And, drumroll, here are the top ten finishers, not a honky among them:

1st: Minjee Lee (Australia)
2nd: Wannasaen, Kim (tie)
4th: Thitikul, Iwai (tie)
6th: Yamashita, Yin (tie)
8th: Lee, Choi (tie)
10th: Hsu
