The best players in the world have made their way to Jack’s place in Dublin, Ohio, for the 2023 Memorial Tournament.
Muirfield Village will host an absolutely stacked field, including the top five players in the Official World Golf Ranking — Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. Rahm won this event in 2020 while Cantlay was claimed the title twice in 2021 and 2019.
Billy Horschel, who tied for 40th at the Charles Schwab Challenge last week, enters as the defending champion. The Florida Gator bested Aaron Wise by four shots last season for his seventh PGA Tour title.
Scheffler, unsurprisingly, is the betting favorite at +600 followed by Rahm at +750.

Morikawa is looking for his first win on Tour since the 2021 Open. He’s tied for 26th and 29th in his last two starts and has good course history at Muirfield. He missed the cut last season, however, he finished runner-up in 2021.
And in 2020, Morikawa won the Workday Charity Open which was played at Muirfield.
