PGA Tour Brass Defends Rory McIlroy's Choice to Skip The Memorial
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It is a special week on the PGA Tour. The world's best golfers have descended upon Muirfield Village in Ohio for the Memorial Tournament. Well, most of the world's best are playing. Rory McIlroy turned heads when he decided to skip the tournament for the first time in nine years. Nicklaus acknowledged even he was surprised to hear of McIlroy's decision earlier this week. Although, he made it clear it was his choice to make and he does not hold it against him. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan took it a step further defending the Northern Irishman. "The beauty of our model is that our players have the ability to select their schedule," Monahan said. "What Rory McIlroy has done, I think he's played in this tournament every year since 2017. And you look at the tournaments that he's supported. I don't have any concern, because you look at this on balance over time, his support of our tournaments and our partners is extraordinary."

In the post-Tiger Woods era of domination, the five-time major champion took up the mantle of being the face of the PGA Tour. That includes initially digging his heels in against LIV Golf upon its emergence in 2022. Earlier this year, McIlroy completed the grand slam, winning the 2025 Masters Tournament in dramatic fashion. Since that time, he has made three starts; namely the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the Truist Championship (formerly Wells Fargo) and the PLAYERS Championship. The last of which was his worst performance of the year. He finished tied for 47th after barely making the cut. During the PLAYERS, it was revealed that McIlroy's driver failed USGA random testing. That forced the 36-year-old to switch out heads before teeing off that week. Interestingly, McIlroy then opted not to speak to the media following all four rounds. That alone brought its own set of criticism from fans. Nicklaus, when addressing the topic on Tuesday, said that while he cannot speak for McIlroy, he always felt it prudent to speak to the media. Rory McIlroy is slated to play in next week's RBC Canadian Open. He has always preferred playing the week before a major, and with the U.S. Open at Oakmont on tap in two weeks, maybe that is why he made the decision to sit out The Memorial.

Memorial Tournament 2025: Odds, favorites, predictions for Muirfield Village Golf Club
The 2025 Memorial Tournament opens on Thursday, with Scottie Scheffler defending his championship from a year ago. Golf Channel Staff, Want in on the action? Here are the betting odds and favorites for the weekend, but not before some wager ideas from betting expert Brad Thomas. Top German: Stephan Jaeger (-138) over Matti Schmid There's no denying that Matti Schmid has been playing stellar golf. He was battling with Ben Griffin at the Charles Schwab in hopes of picking up his first PGA Tour win. Unfortunately for him, he came up short. Even in defeat, his numbers were impressive. He gained +3.9 strokes on approach and +8.6 on the putting surface — his solo second marked back-to-back top 10 finishes for Schmid. Had Schmid not played as well last week, this number likely would be closer to -200. It's not a massive buy spot for Jaeger but a great sell high spot for Schmid. That doesn't discount how well Jaeger has played at some big and challenging courses this season. He had a fantastic start at the PGA Championship. He finished T7 at Truist, T36 at Valspar (where he had a share of the lead after the first round) and a top-20 finish at The Players Championship. Viktor Hovland to win This week may be one of the scariest weeks when it comes to fading Scottie Scheffler in the outright market. Muirfield Village sets up perfectly for the World No. 1, but I can't bring myself to bet on him at +300. If the price is right, playing the 'Winner without Scottie Scheffler' market makes sense. Hovland is a golfer I like in that market. I also like Hovland to be able to stand toe-to-toe with Scheffler and take down this event for the second time in three years. Muirfield Village is demanding off the tee. At 7,569 yards and a high missed fairway penalty, long drives that find the fairway are at a premium this week. Hovland is accurate off the tee and hits long enough. Strong approach play with long irons is essential here. Over the last 50 rounds, Hovland is first in the field on approach shots from 175-200 yards. Hovland's lack of short game prowess may be his one weakness here. However, his win in 2023 and a T15 finish here last season prove that he has more than enough to get the job done, even against Scheffler. Memorial Tournament odds (as of Wednesday afternoon, courtesy DraftKings): Scottie Scheffler (+280) Collin Morikawa (+1600) Xander Schauffele (+1600) Justin Thomas (+1800) Patrick Cantlay (+2200) Ludvig Åberg (+2500) Tommy Fleetwood (+2500) Corey Conners (+3000) Viktor Hovland (+3000) Shane Lowry (+3500) Daniel Berger (+3500) Jordan Spieth (+3500) Hideki Matsuyama (+3500) Si Woo Kim (+4000) Sepp Straka (+4000)

Cameras Catch Scottie Scheffler's Son's Special Moment at PGA Championship
Scottie Scheffler showed the world, once again, why he is the best golfer on the planet. The No. 1 ranked golfer in the world won his first PGA Championship on Sunday, his third major of his career. Scheffler won the 2022 and 2024 Masters, and has many other career highlights including becoming the first golfer to win The Players Championship in back-to-back years (2023 and 2024). Advertisement Scheffler entered the final round with a three-stroke lead over Alex Noren. Scheffler would finish his final round with an even-par 71, walking away with a five-stroke victory over second place finishers Bryson DeChambeau, Davis Riley and Harris English. Alongside Scheffler at Quail Hollow on Sunday, was his wife Meredith, their one-year-old son, Bennett, and Scheffler's parents, Scott and Diane Scheffler. While the celebration and fanfare was going on around the course following the hoisting of the Wanamaker Trophy, another (apparent) family milestone took place seemingly unnoticed. The camera of Mike Solarte, the Sports Director at Spectrum News 1 in Charlotte, caught Scheffler's son, Bennett, standing on his own for the first time. Advertisement While it has not been confirmed if this was the first time Bennett ever stood up on his own, mom's reaction certainly seemed that way. While the video has been picked up by larger media outlets, totaling over four million views, Solarte had it first, posting it to his official X account (@MikeSolarte).

Following his final putt, Scheffler walked the rope of fans with his son in his arms, as the two made their way to sign dad's final scorecard. Scheffler went viral for placing Bennett on the floor, dropping his hat on the floor as a momentary distraction, before heading to the scorer's table.
