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.

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!
