2023 the Memorial Tournament Betting
Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio is the site for the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. The event is known as Jack’s tournament because Muifield was designed by Jack Nicklaus. Dublin is a suburb of Columbus where Nicklaus was born and learned to play golf. The first Memorial Tournament was held in 1976, two years after the course at Muirfield Village opened. The Memorial is one of just five PGA Tour events that have “invitational” status, which means the field for the event is 120 players rather than the normal 156 players. The field for this event is usually excellent and that will be the case again in 2023 because the Memorial Tournament is one of the “elevated” events which have enhanced prize purses. The 2023 Memorial Tournament will have a $20 million dollar prize purse so you can expect almost all of the world’s top players to be in the field.
Catch all of the action at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday from Thursday, June 1, through Sunday, June 4.

The golf club at Muirfield Village opened in 1974 and has hosted a number of top events including the 1987 Ryder Cup and the 2013 Presidents Cup. Nicklaus continues to make changes to the golf course to make it more challenging to the pros. He has lengthened a number of holes in recent years including the 1st, 10th, 12th and 17th. He has also added more bunkers and he even changed a stream on the 18th hole. The course was ranked 14th best in the United States by Golf Digest in 2014.

Despite the changes and the additions made by Nicklaus to the course, the scores continue to be pretty good. Only three times since 2000 has the winner not shot at least 12-under par. The event used to be dominated by marquee names winning such as Woods, Els, Rose and Kuchar but there have been some exceptions, as Lingmerth won in 2015, while McGirt won in 2016.
