He needs one victory to set the PGA Tour career record that he shares with Sam Snead at 82. … This is the second straight week for a PGA Tour event at Muirfield Village. Last week’s Workday Charity Open was a one-time event that replaced the canceled John Deere Classic. … The 133-man field features 89 players at Muirfield Village last week. … Brooks Koepka was planning on skipping the Memorial until he missed the cut last week. He now plans at least five in a row through the PGA Championship at Harding Park. … The world ranking is so close at the top that Webb Simpson will have a mathematical chance at reaching No. 1 for the first time in his career. … Muirfield Village will close after the Memorial for major renovations, mainly redoing all of the greens. … Harris English returns to competition after testing positive for the coronavirus. … Bryson DeChambeau is coming off a three-shot victory in Detroit.
