The PGA Tour is heading back to Jack’s Place for the prestigious Memorial Tournament this week.
Memorial, hosted by 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus, is one of the Tour’s top events and presents arguably the toughest test of the season at Muirfield Village.
Billy Horschel held off Aaron Wise to claim a brilliant victory in Ohio last year while Jon Rahm and Patrick Cantlay are among the other recent winners.
The 2023 tournament is another of the new elevated events and will include a top class field headlined by Rahm, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
The battle in the FedEx Cup is heating up with only 12 more tournaments before the play-offs get underway.
Masters champion Rahm currently leads the way but will need a big week here to keep rival Scheffler at bay.
Memorial 2023: Date and how to follow
The tournament is being held from Thursday, June 1 to Sunday, June 4.
It will take place at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The course is a par 72 and measures 7,392 yards in length.
Play for the opening two rounds will begin at 1pm UK time while the action will get underway at 3pm over the weekend.
talkSPORT 2 will have live commentary of all the action on each day of the tournament.

Memorial 2023: Field and tee times
This tournament is a designated event meaning there will be a stellar field at Muirfield.
The world’s top three players, Scheffler, Rahm and McIlroy, will all tee it up.
The likes of Xander Schauffle, Viktor Hovland, Matt Fitzpatrick and Jordan Spieth will also be in action.
US Amateur champion Sam Bennett, who starred at the Masters in April, is in the field too.
The groupings and tee times for the opening two rounds will be confirmed on Tuesday evening while the full field can be found here.
Memorial 2023: What has been said?
Former world number one Rahm will be looking to hit back after a disappointing performance at the 2023 PGA Championship.
He said: “It’s golf. When you think ‘Oh, I got this’ it kicks you in the mouth and you have to start over again. It happens to everybody.
“It wasn’t my best week, but I don’t think it was terrible either.
“Obviously, it was a terribly difficult set-up and exposes a lot of your weaknesses. Some other tournaments we play throughout the year I think I could have snuck out a really good finish. Just not out there.”
