Who could miss the cut at the Memorial Tournament?
Several big names are in danger of not making the cut at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club. As of 3: 45 p.m. on May 30, the cutline stood at 5 over par. The top 50 players and any golfer within 10 shots of the leader qualify to play the third and fourth rounds. Justin Thomas tees off on the first hole during the rainy second round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin on May 30, 2025. Two-time major champion Justin Thomas looked doomed to miss the cut when he shot an 80 in the first round. But he rebounded with a 69 capped by a 7-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to get to 5 over. Advertisement "I didn't and I don't know if it's going to be good enough, but I knew my chances were a lot better at (plus) 5 than 6," Thomas said. "I was trying to make as many birdies as I could." Thomas said he didn't play as badly as he scored on May 29. "I felt I got penalized for some shots that weren't that bad yesterday," he said. "It's a little easier to play today when you don't really have anything to lose. But it was obviously tough. It was raining the entire day, and I put together a really great round of golf. Regardless of what happens, I have a lot to be proud of and build on. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to play some more." Brian Harman, who won the 2023 British Open, followed up his 76 with a 78 and is at 10 over par. Advertisement Others who could miss the cut include Matt Fitzpatrick, Michael Kim, Wyndham Clark, 2013 Memorial winner Matt Kuchar and Adam Scott. Justin Rose, the 2010 Memorial winner, shot a 78 in the first round and bogeyed the first hole May 39 but then caught fire. He holed out from 107 yards away on No. 3 for an eagle and then birdied six of his first seven holes on the back nine to get to 1 under par. "I knew the course was super tough," Rose said. "I knew I probably didn't need to go super low to make the cut today, and my primary objective was to make the cut. But things really started flowing."

Justin Thomas' Perfect Advice for Lexi Thompson at US Women's Open
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. Several years have passed, but Justin Thomas certainly hasn't forgotten his only official tournament experience at Erin Hills Golf Course. With LPGA Tour stars now playing there in the U.S. Women's Open, Thomas had in store some advice for whoever wanted to take it. "Hit it as far as you can and high," Thomas summed it up. His opinion was mainly aimed at none other than the 'semi-retired' Lexi Thompson, who, despite being only 30 years old, is making her 19th consecutive start in this event. Thomas' advice for her was simple: Stay true to your style. "I was actually talking to Curtis Thompson a little, he's caddieing for Lexi, and he texted me a couple weeks ago asking about it. He said the same thing, like 'any advice', and I'm like just, 'tell Lexi to be Lexi'. Like just send a driver," he said. The two-time major champion explained that his opinion is based on the unique characteristics of Erin Hills. "They're big fairways, it was very un-U.S. Open like, in my opinion, the golf course, just with how the fairways were so big and some of the greens were big. But it just was, you know, it was a totally different look and setup." "I felt like, if you put a driver in your hand, if you drove the ball well and further, at least for the tees and kind of distances were setup on some holes, you would have a huge advantage." "So somebody like Lexi who is on the longer side of her competitors, it could be a big advantage. So I would look for a longer hitter or a girl that could put a little more height under their irons to probably be successful." Justin Thomas of the United States speaks to the media prior to the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 13, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Justin Thomas of the United States speaks to the media prior to the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 13, 2025 in Charlotte, North his performance at the 2017 US Open, Thomas's opinion on how to play Erin Hills is more than valid. The 16-time PGA Tour winner finished ninth with a score of 8-under, carding rounds of 73, 69, 63, and 75. In fact, his third-round 63 in 2017 is still the course record at Erin Hills. Lexi Thompson played in her first US Women's Open at age 12 in 2007. Since then, she has qualified every season, made the cut 14 times, and finished in the top 10 five times. Her best result was in 2019, when she finished tied for second place. Thompson announced midway through last season that 2024 would be her final year as a 'full-time professional golfer'. However, she has made five starts in 2025, including the US Women's Open, with three cuts made and two top-15 finishes.

Scottie Scheffler NOW 3/1 with Sky Bet to win the PGA Tour's Memorial Tournament starting Thursday
Sky Bet are offering four Price Boosts for this weekend's PGA Tour action - as Ohio's Muirfield Village Golf Club plays host to the Memorial Tournament starting Thursday. The first two boosts require Scottie Scheffler to win outright at 3/1, and Scheffler and Xander Schauffele to both finish top five including ties at 11/2. Scheffler has been in exceptional form of late across his last three outings - with the American winning the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and PGA Championship before finishing fourth at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Additionally, Scheffler is the Memorial Tournament's reigning champion. Meanwhile, the other two boosts need Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa to both finish top ten including ties, and Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland and Shane Lowry all to finish top 20 including ties. The odds for those two bets have been enhanced to 6/1 and 9/1 respectively. Thomas has finished second or higher in two of his last three appearances, while Morikawa finished runner-up at this event last year.

Memorial Tournament 2025 picks, predictions, odds at Muirfield Village Golf Club
Memorial Tournament 2025 picks, predictions, odds at Muirfield Village Golf Club The high point of the golf season in central Ohio is upon us, as most of the world's best descend on Dublin for the Memorial Tournament. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler leads a packed field for the tournament played at Jack Nicklaus' Muirfield Village Golf Club. This is the 50th playing of the tournament, and Nicklaus' wife, Barbara, is a special honoree. See below for our staff picks on who will win in 2025. When does the Memorial Tournament start? The 2025 Memorial Tournament is scheduled to start with first-round action on May 29. The tournament runs through the final round on Sunday, June 1. Memorial Tournament favorites, odds BetMGM Memorial Tournament winner odds as of 9 p.m. on May 26: Scottie Scheffler (+300) Justin Thomas (+1400) Collin Morikawa (+1600) Patrick Cantlay (+1600) Xander Schauffele (+1600) Tommy Fleetwood (+2000) Ludvig Åberg (+2500) Corey Conners (+2800) Sepp Straka (+2800) 2025 Memorial Tournament predictions Adam Schupak, Golfweek: Collin Morikawa (+1600) He's winless since October 2023 and overdue to end his drought. Morikawa nearly won last year at Jack's Place, finishing second to Scheffler, but previously won at Muirfield Village when the course hosted back-to-back weeks during the return of golf from COVID. His vaunted iron game makes him a terrific fit for the Memorial, and armed with an improved short game and a reliable putter, he's ready to accept the winner's handshake from Jack on Sunday. Rob Oller, Columbus Dispatch: Scottie Scheffler (+300) Going out on a limb with this one, right? Scheffler is dominating the competition more than anyone since Tiger Woods stalked the fairways. He has already won twice this season (the Byron Nelson and PGA Championship) and, oh, by the way, he is the defending Memorial champion who tied for third at Muirfield Village in 2021 and 2023. It's safe to say the 28-year-old No. 1 player in the world feels comfortable at Jack's place. True, if his putting is "off," he may not walk away the winner, but if he is even average on the greens, he will be in the thick of it on Sunday. And if the blade is on fire, it's over. Bill Rabinowitz, Columbus Dispatch: Justin Thomas (+1400) It'd be too easy to copy my esteemed colleague Rob Oller and pick Scheffler, but that wouldn't be much fun, would it? I was tempted to go with Xander Schauffele, who won two majors last year. But he was injured early this year and hasn't rounded into form. So I'll go with Justin Thomas. Yes, he missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but in his previous four tournaments, he finished second twice and won the RBC Heritage in a playoff. Thomas has been shaky off the tee this year, but his putting has been terrific. 2025 Memorial Tournament sleeper picks Adam Schupak, Golfweek: Corey Conners (+2800) Since Rob gave two sleepers, I will follow suit with two Canadians. Corey Conners is a ball-striking machine, so if he can have a good putting week, he'll be a factor. Likewise, Taylor Pendrith is a bomber whose length should be an asset at Jack's Place. Since I'm picking them, Nick Taylor and Mackenzie Hughes likely will be low Canadians. Also, it wouldn't shock me if Rickie Fowler is in the trophy hunt. He's shown signs of finding his mojo again after rounds of 64 at both the Truist Championship and playing in the final threesome at the Charles Schwab Challenge last week. He's been a factor at Jack's Place in the past and needs to earn FedEx Cup points if he's going to make the playoffs. Rob Oller, Columbus Dispatch: Matt Fitzpatrick (+4000) It's hard to call Matt Fitzpatrick a sleeper, considering he is a major champion (2022 U.S. Open) who has three top-10 finishes in six appearances at MVGC, but he has only one top-10 finish in 12 events this season and has not won on tour since the 2023 Heritage. S. Woo Kim finished T-8 at the PGA Championship, his second top-10 of the season. An Asian player has not won in Dublin since Hideki Matsuyama in 2014, and before that K.J. Choi in 2007, but look for Kim to be in the hunt when making the turn on Sunday. The 29-year-old was fourth at the Memorial in 2023, and his four career wins on tour prove he can play under pressure. Bill Rabinowitz, Columbus Dispatch: Viktor Hovland (+2800) Viktor Hovland has struggled by his standards this year after establishing himself as one of the best players in the world. His win at the Valspar Championship in March is his only top-10 finish. But the 2023 Memorial winner is obviously capable of winning at Muirfield Village. At those odds, he's not a bad bet. As for another longshot, 2010 Memorial champion Justin Rose at +12500 is a decent choice. The 44-year-old took Rory McIlroy to a playoff at the Masters and has two other top-10 finishes. He has finished in the top 10 four times at the Memorial, though he has missed the cut the last two years. Memorial Tournament 2025 prize money The total purse for the Memorial Tournament is $20 million. The tournament winner is slated to receive $4 million.
