Jack Nicklaus wasn\u2019t necessarily happy doing the PGA Tour a favor.<\/p>\n
The 18-time major champion and winner of 73 PGA Tour titles agreed to go along with a new plan that would move his annual Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio a week later \u2014 and right before the US Open \u2014 to help with the PGA Tour\u2019s signature event series.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would prefer the other week,\u201d Nicklaus said Tuesday at a news conference, per Sports Illustrated. \u201cHowever, we are here this week because the Tour asked us to help them out. They said they had a thing they wanted to do and that the players had asked for and that would we help it out, and we said yes, that we would do that this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we said we would review it after this tournament and we\u2019ll figure out how we\u2019re going to settle the schedule after that, and I said that discussion is under way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tournament, which is in its 49th year and will run from June 6-9, has been traditionally played two weeks prior to the US Open and the week after Memorial Day. <\/p>\n
Nicklaus mentioned the tournament has also been tied to the holiday in the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cYesterday, was normally a very big day gallery-wise for us because it was Memorial Day, and we had maybe a thousand people here yesterday,\u201d he said. \u201cFrom the sponsor\u2019s standpoint, I think that they get into board meetings and kids\u2019 graduations and so forth, so that\u2019s maybe not as advantageous.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that won\u2019t make any difference. We\u2019re going to have a good tournament this week either way, in spite of all the different things. And as I say, we did that as a favor and the Tour asked us to do that, and we said yes. So we\u2019ve always been a supporter of the Tour. We want to try to continue to support what is best for the Tour, but we also want to support what\u2019s best for the Memorial Tournament. So that is to be determined.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new schedule idea was created to prevent regular tournaments from being stuck between two signature events or any majors. <\/p>\n
In 2023, the Memorial was played before the RBC Canadian Open. This year, the tournaments switched spots on the calendar with Robert MacIntyre winning in Toronto last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Golden Bear\u201d didn\u2019t take to this, advocating for the same rest between major tournaments that he once had.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s put it this way. When I played, I would rarely play a week before any major championship,\u201d Nicklaus said. \u201cSo I\u2019m asked to be part of putting on a golf tournament in a week that I would never play. That, to me, is the essential part from my standpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicklaus\u2019 tournament is one of the eight signature events of the PGA Tour this year with reduced playing fields and purses reaching $20 million \u2014\u00a0with the winner getting $4 million.<\/p>\n
The tournament was first played in 1976 at the Muirfield Village Golf Club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
