    The PGA TOUR heads to Jack’s place for the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide 2019 at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

    Masters 2019 winner Tiger Woods joins a stacked field, where 21 of the top 30 in the FedExCup Standings are competing for the honour of being congratulated by host Jack Nicklaus on the 18th green.

    The event will welcome some of the best players in the world, such as Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, who won the tournament in a playoff against Byeong Hun An.

    Louis Oosthuizen, who was tipped for a strong week at Colonial, but withdrew due to a persistent injury, is back as part of a four-man Saffa contingent that includes Branden Grace and an uncle and nephew combination, Ernie Els and Jovan Rebula.

    Oosthuizen will be hoping that the big things expected of him remain a week on as he returns to the scene where he banked a T13 finish, five off the lead.
