The Memorial Tournament

The Memorial Tournament is a PGA Tour golf tournament founded in 1976 by Jack Nicklaus and originally played on Memorial Day weekend. It is played on a Nicklaus-designed course at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, a suburb north of Columbus. The golf course passes through a large neighborhood called Muirfield Village, which includes a 1999 bronze sculpture of Nicklaus mentoring a young golfer located in the wide median of Muirfield Drive.
