The Memorial Tournament, founded in 1976 by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, is an annual PGA Tour event held at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The tournament is renowned for its challenging course, also designed by Nicklaus, and its connection to the golfer's legacy. Muirfield Village, the surrounding neighborhood, even features a bronze statue of Nicklaus mentoring a young golfer.
During the 1966 Masters Tournament, Jack Nicklaus expressed his desire to establish a tournament of international stature, much like The Masters, to honor golf's heritage and traditions while supporting charitable causes in Columbus and Ohio.
A bronze sculpture of Jack Nicklaus mentoring a young golfer was erected in Muirfield Village, Ohio, in 1999, honoring Nicklaus's legacy and contribution to golf.
In 2000, Jack Nicklaus was himself inducted into The Memorial Tournament's hall of fame, a testament to his immense contributions to the sport.
In June 2014, the PGA Tour decided to grant the winner of The Memorial Tournament a three-year exemption, aligning it with other prestigious tournaments.
As of 2021, seven golfers have secured victory at The Memorial Tournament more than once.
The Memorial Tournament will have a reduced field of 73 players in 2024, maintaining its invitational status.
