The rescheduled tour now moves to Dublin, Ohio for the next two weeks teeing up at Muirfield Village. It’s a unique situation as this week’s Workday Charity Open and next week’s Memorial Tournament will effectively be being played over the same course, although this week with slower greens and utilising different tee boxes on some holes.
Muirfield Village Golf Club was the dream of Nicklaus and Desmond Muirhead, they acquired the land back in 1966 but construction didn’t begin until July 1972. The golf course, which is situated on 220 acres and was officially opened for play on Memorial Day 1974 with an exhibition match between Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf.
