Memorial Tournament: What to know for the TOUR's trip to Jack's place

After the final Texas stop of the season with the Charles Schwab Challenge, the TOUR will head north to Dublin, Ohio, for the annual Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club, founded and hosted by Jack Nicklaus.

The field will compete for 550 FedEx Cup points - 50 more than regular events - and a portion of the $12-million purse, which is one of the larger prizes on TOUR this season.

When: June 2-5
Where: Dublin, Ohio

How to watch

Last year's result

Patrick Cantlay won an exciting playoff over Collin Morikawa to claim his second Memorial victory last year. However, the tournament is probably best remembered for Jon Rahm's withdrawal - the Spaniard had a commanding six-stroke lead Saturday before having to drop out due to a positive COVID-19 test.

Scottie Scheffler - who was still searching for his first TOUR win - finished third at 11-under, two shots back of Cantlay and Morikawa. Branden Grace finished at 10-under, while Patrick Reed placed fifth at 8-under.
