Once again the Memorial Tournament (an annual PGA Tour golf tournament) is right around the corner! The competition runs from May 26th-June 1st and, as always, takes place at Muirfield Village Golf Club. The course, which sits on 220 acres, was designed by Jack Nicklaus (right)--the founder of the Memorial Tournament and often regarded as the most accomplished professional golfer of all time. The 18 holes range from 184 yards (Hole 12, par 3) to 567 yards (Hole 11, par 5). The tournament has run from 1976; recent winners include Matt Kuchar (2013), Tiger Woods (1999, 2000, 2001, 2009, 2012), Steve Stricker (2011), Justin Rose (2010), and Kenny Perry (1991, 2003, 2008).
