The Memorial Betting Guide (2023)

The Memorial Tournament is one of 5 invitational tournaments on the PGA Tour, which means it has a smaller field of 120 players. Invitationals are not required to fill their fields using the PGA Tour Priority Ranking System. This way, the organisers can effectively choose through a unique criterion who will take part in their tournament. Whereas most PGA events will start with a field of 156, invitationals have smaller fields of between 120 and 132. The other four tournaments with invitational status are the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the RBC Heritage, the Charles Schwab Challenge and the Genesis Open.

The tournament runs from Thursday through Sunday, with 18 holes played each day. The field is cut after two days, where those doing poorly are dismissed and those doing well continue on to the final two days of play. At the end of the Sunday, the golfer with the lowest under-par score is crowned winner, unless the tourney ends in a tie. In this case, a three-hole play-off ensues in order to break the deadlock.

As well as prize money of £1.675 million, the winner of the Memorial has, since 2014, received a three-year exemption instead of two years as part of his reward. This extra year is one greater than regular and the s꧋ame amount as the World Golf Championships, the Tour Championship and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

By May 1976, the first-ever PGA Tour event was staged at the course and named the Memorial Tournament, the reason being that each event honours a different golfer based on the career contributions that they made to the game of golf.
