The Memorial Tournament is coming up soon on Thursday, June 6 and will offer plenty of golfers that could earn a slice of the $20,000,000 at Muirfield Village Golf Club. The market shows Scottie Scheffler as the favorite with a moneyline at +350.
The 2024 Memorial Tournament takes place at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The course is a Par 72 that spans about 7,400 yards.
Jack Nicklaus designed this course and made it a challenging one. There have been renovations over the years to keep it in top shape and remain a tough course for those that have issues with consistency.
Hitting shots and staying on course will eventually reward golfers. Bad shots will harm them, as the layout will make it harder to recover. Strong iron play will be key, especially for those that need to recover from bad tee shots or need another to get back on track.
With plenty of top golfers in the field, this event should be another exciting one to watch. Below are a handful that stand out, as well as an appealing long shot.
Collin Morikawa +1600 - Morikawa has two consecutive fourth place finishes and arguably one the best golfers to have positive momentum at the right time. His most recent fourth place finish was at the Charles Schwab Challenge. His consistency as of late ranks him up there with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy in terms of tee to green, strokes gained stats, and putting. This is the perfect time for him to shine in a loaded field.
Viktor Hovland +1650 - Hovland is the defending champion of this event. He is coming off of a third place finish at the PGA Championship, in which he was a few strokes away from clinching the win. His game reflects well here in terms of around the green performances and his experience with tee to green play.
Max Homa +4100 - Homa tied for third at the Masters and tied for eighth at the Wells Fargo Championship. However, he has been volatile in between these events and difficult to get a read on. He tied for fifth at this event back in 2022, so he has a chance to finish strong.
MyBookie showcases the odds for the 2024 Memorial Tournament, as Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win. Bettors could look to pick him, especially since he has been the most consistent.
Put it this way, Scheffler's worst finish this season has been a T17 back at the American Express in January. Since then, he has placed in the top 10 in every event other than that and has four wins including the Masters. It is difficult to pass on the best golfer in the world.
