Event Preview
One of the most prestigious events on the PGA Tour is set for this weekend, as Muirfield Village Golf Club hosts the Memorial Tournament. This weekend’s event was founded by Jack Nicklaus in 1976, and it has attracted some of the best players in the world throughout its history. This weekend, the field will be competing for their share of the $20 million purse.
The stroke play competition is contested over 7,392 yards. Tom Lehman holds the record scores at the event, finishing -20 under with an aggregate score of 268 when landing victory in 1998. The top two from the event last year are likely to dominate the betting in 2025.

Scottie Scheffler has been in dominant form over the last 18 months or so, and one of his nine wins in 2025 was achieved at the Memorial Tournament. The American was slightly below his best at the Charles Schwab Challenge last weekend, but his recent win in the PGA Championship continues to indicate the sky-high achievements that he is able to reach.
Collin Morikawa finished as the runner-up at the Memorial Tournament last year, finishing just a single shot behind the dominant winner. The American has shown flashes of his best form so far this season, and he is likely to give another bold account ahead of the U.S. Open.
Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood are two players at bigger prices who could be sleeper picks. The former is a big price after underperforming at the PGA Championship, but he has already finished in the top ten in three events in 2025.
Memorial Tournament Picks
Recent course form is a big plus ahead of this weekend, and there could be value in siding with the 2023 champion. Viktor Hovland has been consistent throughout this season, and he recovered well to finish one-under at the PGA Championship earlier this month. His game is slowly coming together, and he could be a player who is set to peak across the summer.
