Preview of the 2026 Memorial Tournament | By Workday
DUBLIN, Ohio - Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 and 20-time PGA TOUR winner in search of second victory of the season (The American Express). Scheffler seeks to win the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday for the third consecutive year. The last player on TOUR to win the same tournament in three consecutive years: Steve Stricker (2011 John Deere Classic).
The last player to win the Memorial Tournament in three consecutive years: Tiger Woods (1999-2001).
A third victory at the Memorial Tournament (2024, 2025) would see him join Kenny Perry (1991, 2003, 2008) with the second-most in tournament history, behind Tiger Woods (1999, 2000, 2001, 2009, 2012).
