Who is playing in the Memorial Tournament 2025? Complete field and categories explored
The PGA Tour will next head to Ohio for the Memorial Tournament 2025. The penultimate signature event of the season will be played from Thursday, May 29, to Sunday, June 1, at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin.
Since the Memorial Tournament 2025 is a signature event, it will feature most of the top-ranked players in action. However, World No. 2 Rory McIlroy has opted out of the tournament and will only play the RBC Canadian Open ahead of the U.S. Open. This is the first time since 2017 that he has skipped the Jack Nicklaus-hosted event.
The Memorial Tournament 2025 will feature 43 of the top 50-ranked players, competing for a purse of $20 million. Scottie Scheffler will be back in action, looking to defend his title and add another win to his incredible stretch. Last year, he posted his fifth win of the season after defeating Collin Morikawa by a one-stroke margin.
The Muirfield Village Golf Club event will also feature some former winners, such as Patrick Cantlay, Viktor Hovland, and Hideki Matsuyama. Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg, Russell Henley, and Sepp Straka are the other top ten-ranked players in next week's event.
Tiger Woods, who has won here five times, will remain absent as he continues his recovery from ACL surgery.
