What's new at the 2025 Memorial Tournament? A look at changes to the spectator experience
The "what" has not changed as much as the "when" at the Memorial Tournament, which runs May 29 to June 1 at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin. The big difference this year is the PGA Tour event has returned to its traditional Memorial Day week spot on the tour calendar. Fans who had to wait an extra week to attend the 2024 Memorial, a move deeper into June that pushed into the beginning of vacation season, can take solace in knowing things are back to normal. Advertisement Memorial host and founder Jack Nicklaus also no longer has to answer questions about the Memorial serving as a lead-up to the U.S. Open. A year ago, Nicklaus was not thrilled that the Memorial and Canadian Open switched places, which put his tournament only one week ahead of the U.S. Open instead of two, but he kept his comments about the tour's scheduling policy mostly positive. But the Golden Bear got his wish this year, as the Memorial is back to being two weeks before America's national championship, while the Canadian Open returns to its spot just preceding the Open. Defending Memorial champion Scottie Scheffler also likes that the tournament is back to its Memorial Day week slotting. "I remember last year it was fairly challenging going from playing Memorial to going and playing the U.S. Open," defending Memorial champion Scottie Scheffler said.

The smaller field should lessen the impact of weather delays. Fewer players mean an easier time getting the round completed after rain and lightning pass through.

Dublin zoning officials back Bogey Inn revamp, but urge design tweaks
DUBLIN, Ohio (WCMH) — Dublin zoning officials said they support plans to transform The Bogey Inn into an 'entertainment campus' but argue the building's blueprint needs to be tinkered with given it 'ignores some obvious urban design queues.' Rise Brands, the group behind Pins Mechanical Co., presented on March 6 to the city's planning and zoning commission its revitalization plan for the former Dublin bar at 6013 Glick Road. While all members said they like the concept, many agreed with Commissioner Gary Alexander in arguing the new Bogey Inn would have more opportunities to link with other future development if the building's orientation was adjusted and constructed closer to the street. Dublin Scioto High School expansion gears up, with groundbreaking set for May 'I like the idea, but what I would not support is the way the site is laid out. I think, in some way, it's contrary to what our community plan is attempting to do,' Alexander said. 'I think your [building] is designed around the concept and not the site. It looks like you came with a preconceived concept and dropped it on the site. … It ignores some obvious urban design queues.' Rise announced in January it would reopen The Bogey Inn during summer 2026, with plans to transform the property with indoor and outdoor bars, a food hall, live entertainment, a 36-hole putting course and more. Renderings released earlier in March show how the company is planning to reinvent the inn by blending 'timeless tradition of golf with family-friendly fun to create a vibrant entertainment campus.' Watch a previous NBC4 report on the Bogey Inn revamp in the video player above. At the meeting, Rise CEO Troy Allen emphasized that the company is aiming to honor the original Bogey Inn 'as much as we can' by keeping with a 1960s hotel-style aesthetic. Allen also boasted that, once completed, the building will be open year round and be home to various food vendors with permanent stalls inside the inn. 'It's an icon here in Dublin and in Shawnee Hills,' Allen said. 'As things kinda lined up with the Memorial and other partners, we knew that something special needed to be done here for the community and to kinda honor the Bogey. And so, that's what we think we've done to redevelop this and do more of an entertainment campus.' Surgeon turned beer-maker eyes spring opening for central Ohio brewery The Bogey Inn permanently closed in 2022 after previous owner Jeff Parenteau died, then briefly reopened in 2023 and again in the summer of 2024 for the Memorial Tournament, the annual PGA Tour stop at Muirfield Village. The inn then auctioned off more than 800 of the restaurant's items — branded tables and chairs, signage, kitchenware and more — in October, ahead of the building's demolition. Rise said in January's announcement that construction would start this year by replacing the building and expanding the property, while the 'Bogey Inn' name will be preserved to retain the bar's 'history, nostalgia, and a bit of its original charm.' The company noted the inn will be revamped in collaboration with the Memorial. Commissioner Jason Deschler echoed support during the meeting for the idea, saying he was a Bogey frequenter dating to the 1980s. Commissioner Jamey Chinnock said he appreciated Rise's effort to bring a unique concept to Dublin but also expressed concern for the building's configuration on the property. 'It brings up a lot of concerns with alcohol and, I know you said you're going to control it, but when there's the Memorial Tournament and there's thousands of people up there, I don't know how you're going to control it,' Chinnock said. 'Those greens being that close to the roadways, and the outdoor bar. Awesome concept, but I think you need to think about controlling access to it.' M/I Homes clears hurdle for single-family lots part of 230-acre Delaware development Kim Way, another commission member who was acting chair during the March meeting, reiterated the members' concerns while emphasizing the Dublin community's excitement for the project. Rise will return for further review from the commission before receiving a vote from city council for construction to begin. 'As you develop the architecture, just think that this is, again, a gateway into Dublin,' Way said. 'This building is gonna represent Dublin and I'm sure you'll continue to work that way.'
