The PGA Tour recently dug into its treasure trove of memories featuring Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, John Daly, etc. at different editions of the Memorial Tournament. The league shared some memories from the Jack Nicklaus hosted tournament on their Instagram page on Tuesday (May 27).
The carousel post was headlined by a close-up shot of a young Woods wearing a red sweater. The iconic golfer holds the record of winning the Memorial Tournament the most number of times with five titles to his name - three of them secured consecutively. He has won in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2009 and 2012.
The post saw Woods celebrating one of his victories as well as being engrossed in a conversation with John Daly on the field. Along with the 15-time Major champion, many other former winners of the Memorial Tournament such as Vijay Singh, Ernie Els and Tom Watson were also present in the nostalgic post. A young Adam Scott also made an appearance playing with a golf ball along with a tournament merch cap bearing mutliple signatures.

The post further featured golf legend and host Jack Nicklaus throughout the years - of him giving autographs to fans, shaking hands with Ernie Els and presenting him with a trophy. The PGA Tour had a beautiful caption for the memory lane saying:
"Memories at Jack's Place."
The Memorial Tournament is among the three player-hosted Signature events on the PGA Tour along with the Genesis Open hosted by Woods and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will arrive at Muirfield this week as the defending champion. He will tee off with Sepp Straka at 1:30 pm ET on Thursday (May 29). The event will take place at its usual home of Muirfield Village Golf Club.
