The Memorial Tournament 2023 will tee off on Thursday, June 1, at Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The event’s 120-player field will feature some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names including the likes of World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, No. 2 Jon Rahm and No. 3 Rory McIlroy.

The Memorial Tournament 2023 is the 33rd event on the 2022-2023 PGA Tour regular season calendar. The much-anticipated event will see 16 of the top 20 and 23 of the top 50 Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) players compete for the $20 million purse on offer.

Despite having a stacked field, the top two on the OWGR emerge as favorites to win the competition. While Scheffler takes the leading spot, Rahm comes in with the second-best odds.

The Memorial Tournament 2023 odds

Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win the Memorial Tournament 2023. Coming on the back of a T3 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend, the 26-year-old is expected to take the big prize at Muirfield Village. According to Caesars Sportsbook, the golfer comes into the event with 6-1 odds. However, he is closely followed by 2023 Masters champion Jon Rahm.

The Spaniard is right behind the event favorite with 7-1 odds. Having lost the World No. 1 spot to Scheffler at the PGA Championship, Rahm will be keen to take back his throne this weekend.

Interestingly, Patrick Cantlay (10-1) overtakes Rory McIlroy (12-1) as the third favorite on the Memorial field. Having found himself in a slump at the Masters, McIlroy is still struggling to recover his early season form. It’ll be interesting to see how he fares this week.

Xander Schauffele (14-1), Viktor Hovland (20-1) and Collin Morikawa (22-1) are some other top names to watch. Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth (30-1) and Justin Thomas (30-1) look to regain form. Defending champion Billy Horschel is a longshot favorite with odds of 125-1.
