Recent PGA Championship winner Scottie Scheffler will be eyeing more success at the next signature event on the PGA Tour this week.
The two-time Masters champion headlines the field at the Memorial Tournament, with Rory McIlroy not involved.
The Northern Irishman has elected to give this one a miss to play in the RBC Canadian Open next week ahead of the upcoming US Open.
But it’s a decision that might not go down too well with many golf fans, given this is Jack Nicklaus’ tournament.
The Memorial is a one of the eight elevated events again this season and field is packed with top players including Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg and Colin Morikawa.

Memorial: What has been said?
Ahead of his tournament, Nicklaus has been talking about Scheffler and McIlroy.
He said: “I think that getting over the line and winning The Masters is probably more important than winning the Grand Slam.
“I think that The Masters has been a bugaboo for him [McIlroy] for 10 years. And I think that once he got The Masters behind him, the reward was the Grand Slam, so I’m very happy for him.
“It was great golf and I dropped him a note and said a guy who makes four double-bogeys and still has enough talent to overcome that is pretty special.
“I think Rory has got himself back into it.
“Scottie has had it pretty much to himself for the last three or four years and he’s an awfully good player.
“He has a little unorthodox way with his footwork, but his path with the club is spectacular. And he knows exactly what he’s doing. He knows what he has to do and what he needs to do.
“He does a great job of that, controls the ball beautifully.”
