DUBLIN, Ohio - Reigning FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay will attempt to defend his title at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. Cantlay, who won in both 2019 and 2021, is seeking to join Tiger Woods as the only players to win the Memorial Tournament in consecutive years (1999-2001). There have been three successful title defenses on Tour this season, marking the most since the 2016-17 season (4).

Bryson DeChambeau is returning to competition after having surgery on his left wrist on April 14 following consecutive missed cuts at the Valero Texas Open and Masters Tournament. The 2018 Memorial champion will make his sixth appearance and finished T-18 in his most recent start (2021).

Jordan Spieth is set to make his 10th start at the event and has three top-20 finishes in last three consecutive starts (T-7/2019, T-13/2020, T-18/2021).

Five of the last eight Memorial Tournaments have ended in a playoff.
