Players to watch at the Memorial Tournament: Bubba Watson, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods
The Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance is set to begin at the Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, featuring eight of the top-10 players in the Official World Golf Rankings.
Memorial has been renowned for capturing big names each year, becoming one the greatest events on the PGA Tour.
The tournament has yet again succeeded in making an impression that this is no doubt the best non-major event of the season.
The world number one Luke Donald is there, number two Rory McIlroy is present and so is the 14-time major champion Tiger Woods.
In the meantime, the recent winner of the Masters Tournament Bubba Watson has also returned after taking few weeks off to spend some time with his family.
Bubba Watson has now become a sensation after the first major victory of his career and he is no doubt a favourite at Memorial this year.
His worst finish of the 2012 season came in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and Zurich Classic of New Orleans where he tied for the 18th position both times.
Otherwise, his record is sensational this year, which lists him among the hottest players in the elite field.
In the meantime, Woods is also returning with an aim to return back to his form that earned him three top five finishes in the first four events he played in the 2012 season.
Woods has not been able to finish better than 40th position in each of the last three events he played.
Therefore, it is a great chance for Woods to repeat the performance that allowed him to break the two-year losing streak at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in the last week of March this year.
Another golfer who will be among the most watched players at the Muirfield Village is McIlroy.
After making a sensational start to the 2012 golf season, he suddenly has lost his form and missed the cuts in each of the last two events he played.
Therefore, it is essential for him to play some good golf and return back to form, especially when the US Open is just two weeks away.
