The Memorial Tournament Tickets

The Memorial Tournament is a PGA Tour tournament that was created in 1976 by golfer Jack Nicklaus at his Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Jack Nicklaus was born and raised in Dublin, so it is no surprise that he chose to base his golf club and tournament there. The focus of the tournament is to honor distinguished golfers from the past, to feature the best of the current golfers and to raise funds for the Nationwide Children's Hospital and other charities supported by the Nicklaus Children's Healthcare Foundation. The Memorial Tournament is a weeklong event. The actual tournament play is from Thursday through Sunday. On Monday through Wednesday, fans can view practice rounds and the Pro-Am Tournament. Passes can be purchased for the full week or for individual days. To check the schedule of events and be part of the gallery for any of the weeklong events, purchase your Memorial Tournament tickets at StubHub.
