I went to the Memorial golf tournament, located in Dublin, OH, this past weekend. I was able to see a number of world renowned golfers play, a few of which included Henrik Stenson, Louis Oosthuizen, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Speith, and of course, Tiger Woods.

Following Tiger is like swimming with a school of fish in the deep blue sea. Thousands of fans follow him from hole to hole unlike any other player in the world. I mean, it makes sense, it’s Tiger Woods. His comeback has been so good for the game of golf, and since his monumental return, boasting quality play, golf rankings have soared through the stratosphere.

He captured his 5th green jacket this year at Augusta National, inching one step closer to Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major championships. Tiger didn’t win the Memorial this year, but he surely made things interesting by firing a final round 67, putting him T9 for the tournament. Not a bad pay day I’d say since this year’s purse was just over $9 million.

The Memorial was founded by none other than The Golden Bear - Jack Nicklaus - himself. Wouldn’t it have been something if Tiger found the winner’s circle at Jack’s very own tournament. A masters win and a win at the Memorial in 2019 would have been something for the history books, if winning the masters wasn’t already history enough.

This year’s winner was Patrick Cantlay, who fired a final round 64 to beat out Adam Scott by just two strokes. Cantlay buried a 14-foot par save on 18 to seal the deal as Scott made his way up the 18th fairway. It was over as soon as it went, unless Scott somehow holed out on 18 for eagle.

It was a great weekend filled with great golf and great weather. I can’t wait for next year’s tourney!!

They are so much fun. This was my 6th time at the Memorial, it never gets old. I would like to enter the lottery for masters tickets, generally after 4-5 years you will end up getting tickets

I am actually glad for the sport as there was definitely a gap while he was not winning. Incredible to realize how much a single player can make a difference in a sport. Personal branding is incredible!

It was definitely noticeable when he was out. He’s had such an impact on the game since his return with high quality play. It really is something special to witness !
