The 2026 Memorial Tournament returns to Jack’s Place at Muirfield Village, with Scottie Scheffler chasing a rare three-peat and a stacked field featuring Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Åberg and Matt Fitzpatrick set to challenge.
As we’ve learned in the past couple years, there doesn’t appear to be any love lost between Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay. Now we know McIlroy doesn’t love Cantlay’s pre-shot routine, either.
Everyone noticed Cantlay taking a long time over the ball, including the many, many times he shuffled his feet before pulling the trigger. Phil Mickelson took notice as well.
It hasn’t been a typical season for Patrick Cantlay. But if you ask him about it, and you ask him about his goals in the immediate future, be it the FedEx Cup Playoffs or ensuring he is a member of the US team for the third time in next month’s Ryder Cup, he responds with his typical nonplussed stoicism.
We often hear snippets about Schauffele – like Jordan Spieth calling him the funniest player in the Ryder Cup locker room – but it’s likely fans don’t know the full backstory on one of golf’s biggest stars. Here are 15 of the most important things to know about the 2024 PGA champion.
No one knows everything for sure, but we do have some idea of the behind-the-scenes intrigue regarding power control and the trajectory of the PGA Tour’s future, so we’ll do our best to explain what is going on.
Speaking on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Championship, McIlroy made it clear that internal opposition to him rejoining the board had successfully scuttled the operation, and that at least for the time being, he’ll remain on the outside looking in.
Speaking ahead of his tour’s flagship event, the Players Championship, there were two things of substance from his remarks, and those comments were notable in who and what they addressed.
