2022 The Memorial Tournament Betting Picks Preview

With only two weeks until the year’s third major at the U.S. Open, the PGA heads to Muirfield Village and one of the more iconic courses on Tour as it hosts the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. “Jack’s Place” is a beautiful championship venue that has grown into one of golf’s premier events. It is also a demanding course that is bold and long, and is one where players must do everything well tee-to-green. Those who get out of position will struggle to make par. Designer, Jack Nicklaus, tends to allow players to swing away without much penalty off the tee, but the trade-off is challenging green complexes that put a strong emphasis on accurate approach play along with proper touch around the greens and scrambling.

The only venue in history to host the Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup and the Solheim Cup, Muirfield Village typically hosts one of the strongest fields on Tour each year. For this week, seven of the top-10 players in the world will be in attendance including Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith, Patrick Cantlay, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. It was last year after three rounds when Rahm was destroying the field with a six-shot lead until he was forced to withdraw after testing positive for COVID. Patrick Cantlay went on to win for the second time in the last three years with a score of 13-under.
