Tiger’s back. And the Memorial slotted him in a marquee group for the first two days.
Woods will play the first and second rounds with World No. 1 Rory McIlroy and No. 6 Brooks Koepka at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Woods is ranked 14th, one spot behind Collin Morikawa who made a jump up in the ranking fresh off his second career PGA Tour win at the Workday Charity Open on Sunday.
Woods, McIlroy and Koepka form one of four featured groupings for the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide.
The other featured groups are:
- Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose and Shane Lowry
- Bryson DeChambeau, Collin Morikawa and Patrick Cantlay
- Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and Dustin Johnson
The Memorial is the sixth event on the PGA Tour’s restart and marks the first time since 1957 that back-to-back Tour events will be held at the same course.
Complete first and second round tee times are expected to be released at 5 p.m. ET Tuesday.
