DUBLIN (AP) — The Memorial has another loaded field. That included the pro-am with a cast of athletes and celebrities.
The tournament Jack Nicklaus built already was among the best on the PGA Tour.
Now it’s an elevated event with a $20 million purse.
It’s part of a crowded PGA Tour schedule that’s going to get more compact next year.
Tour officials are developing a schedule with $20 million events and majors all bunched together.
That’s to give space to the other tournaments.
As for the Memorial, Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler resume their battle for No. 1 in the world.
