The 2024 Memorial Tournament is set to start this week at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio from June 6 to 9. The tournament has a total purse worth $20 million and there are also 550 FedEx Cup points up for grabs.
The Memorial Tournament is played every year at Muirfield Village Golf Club. Despite the land being acquired in 1966, construction of the course began only in 1972. The 220-acre golf course also features an 11-acre driving range. The tournament has been dedicated to celebrating Memorial Day since 1976.
Here's a look at the scoring average at each hole recorded from 1976 to 2019.
Over time, the course has undergone several renovations that included yardage extensions, new bunkers, and water hazards. All the greens on the course were renovated in 2020 with new grass and new green locations.
The Memorial Tournament is hosted by golf legend, Jack Nicklaus. According to the Memorial, the event has "three goals in mind." They are:
"To honor the memory of individuals living and deceased who have distinguished themselves in the game of golf. To showcase the world's best golfers competing on one of the most challenging venues in the world for the enjoyment of spectators. To benefit many Greater Columbus Charities in alliance with the Nicklaus Children's Healthcare Foundation , Nationwide Children's Hospital , Stephen and Ayesha Curry's Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation and numerous other local organizations."
