Memorial Golf Tournament Fast Approaching!


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).

Patron Village, located between Hole No. 10 fairway and No. 14 green, is new this year. It features upgraded dining and beverage options, additional merchandise, a large video screen, a social media hub, and a patio. Best of all, it's open to the public! Guests seeking a more exclusive experience can join the Golden Bear Club, located in Patron Village. Membership includes your choice of menu for purchase catered by Cameron Mitchell Premier Events, cash bar, TV viewing, private restrooms, scoring terminals, and open seating. $250 buys general admission, as well as admission into the Golden Bear Club, from Monday-Sunday. Tickets of all types can be purchased here, while the tournament app (for iPhone and Android), can be downloaded here. The app provides not only comprehensive tournament information, but also real-time scoring and an interactive course map.
