The Memorial Tournament 2025 Golf Odds And Picks

My past previews of The Memorial Tournament with key stats, comparable odds and information you can bet on is available in Forbes. The 7,569 yard Par 72 at Muifield Village Golf Club will challenge a limited field of 72 top PGA Tour golfers, but not world No. 2 Rory McIlroy. All players in the top 50 of the FedExCup Standings are eligible for The Memorial Tournament 2025 Signature Event.

Scottie Scheffler will aim to defend his title as 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus plays tournament host at the season’s penultimate Signature Event, where I also outline last year’s top finishers and odds with Collin Morikawa finishing runner-up. Both Ludvig Aberg and Sepp Straka finished T5 with Xander Schauffele (T8), Hideki Matsuyama (T8), Sungjae Im (T8) and Tony Finau (T8) also top-10 last year.
