The 2023 Memorial Tournament presented by Workday will be the latest Designated event on the PGA Tour. The purse sits at $20 million, with $3.6 million reserved for the outright winner, plus 550 FedExCup points, which will prove invaluable with only a dozen events remaining before the top 70 ranked golfers qualify for the FedExCup playoffs.
The event will take place at the same course it’s always located at, which is Muirfield Village Golf Club. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the legendary golfer and course architect, it was opened back in 1976 but just received its Designated event status, drawing the best golfers on the PGA Tour. It will be a field of 120 players ready to compete for the record winnings, led by World No. 1 and World No. 2 ranked golfers Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm. Scheffler has yet to win at Muirfield, but Rahm accomplished that feat at -9-under-par in 2020. Scheffler came close during his last visit in 2021, going -11-under-par and finishing two strokes behind Patrick Cantlay and Collin Morikawa, with Cantlay ultimately winning the event.
Patrick Cantlay has won the Memorial Tournament twice since 2019 and will look to three-peat this week. The 31-year-old Californian has been dominant on the golf course this season, but it hasn’t translated into any outright wins yet. He’s right behind Scheffler and Rahm for outright betting favorites at 10/1 odds, so we should expect another dominant performance from Cantlay, whose last outing at the PGA Championship resulted in a T9 finish.
Designated event slates mean we can get a lot of value on good players being overshadowed by the superstars, making it the perfect time to build a few DFS lineups to cash some contests at one of the most iconic events on the PGA Tour. I’ve found six of my favorite golfers to insert into DraftKings and FanDuel lineups ahead of Thursday’s first round at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.
