What a spectacle is brewing at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio! The Memorial Tournament presented by Workday is calling, and it's not just any event – it's the seventh Signature Event of the 2026 PGA Tour season. The focus is clearly on one man: Scottie Scheffler, the world-class golfer who claimed victory here in the last two years and now stands on the cusp of a historic hat-trick.
Muirfield Village Golf Club has hosted the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday annually since the inaugural event in 1976. Two-time defending champion Scottie Scheffler looks to become the first player to win the same PGA TOUR event three years in a row since Steve Stricker
Scheffler Chasing History
Scheffler isn't just teeing off; he is the story of the tournament. Following his triumphs in 2024 and 2025, he aims to secure the title for the third consecutive time in 2026 – a statement that would etch his name into the history books. The current World No. 1 seems to love the Muirfield Village greens as if they were his personal playground. The man is playing incredibly strong, showing exactly why he's at the top.
The "Golden Bear" Jack Nicklaus event isn't a Signature Event for nothing. This means: hefty purses, plenty of FedExCup points, and the crème de la crème of golf gathering here. It's not just about a win; it's about proving you can compete with the very best.
The Course Calls
The field selection is strict: the top 50 in FedExCup points from the previous year, all current year winners, and the current FedExCup standings – only the true elite are in. The final list of participants was only recently published on May 29, 2026. A downside: Viktor Hovland, who has been delivering solid performances recently, unfortunately had to withdraw. Others will now have to step up and deliver a stellar round.
