The Memorial tournament tees off Thursday morning at Muirfield Village, hosted by the 75-year-old Jack Nicklaus and to be played on a course designed by, well, Jack Nicklaus. The Tournament is still considered one of the most important non-major events on the annual PGA Tour calendar.

And of course, like many PGA Tour tournament in our time, this year's PGA schedule will be divided into Tiger Woods and non-Tiger Woods events. Indeed, SB Nation said that the annual Memorial tournament has allocated a slog on Tiger Woods' schedule.

The golfing community does not know what to expect from Tiger this week after his self-imposed hiatus due to an embarrassing chipping game and not injury. Still, Tiger is a force to reckon with as he can still hit fairways and is consistent with his irons.

In recent interview, Tiger said his swing is in a better plan that it was at The Players three weeks ago. Tiger will be starting this week together with Jason Day and Patrick Reed, at 8:15 a.m. on Thursday.
