Dublin, Ohio – Adam Scott, the No. 1 player in the world, heads a field of 120 players for the 2014 Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance. Fresh off a playoff victory Sunday at Colonial, Scott will be joined by six other players, in order, from the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking: Matt Kuchar (defending winner), Bubba Watson (reigning Masters Champion), Day, Justin Rose (2010 Memorial winner and reigning U.S. Open champion), Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy. The 39th edition of the prestigious invitational Jack Nicklaus started in 1976 at Muirfield Village Golf Club also boasts seven of the current top-10 on the FedExCup points list and seven of the current top-10 on the PGA TOUR money list.
In addition to Kuchar and Rose, six past winners of the Memorial Tournament are returning to Muirfield Village Golf Club: K.J. Choi, Ernie Els, Jim Furyk, Carl Pettersson, Vijay Singh and Steve Stricker.
Popular star Jason Day, who competed in The Presidents Cup 2013 at Muirfield Village Golf Club, was among the late additions to the field. The 26-year-old Australian who now lives in Columbus, Day will be making his sixth Memorial Tournament start. Day, who finished in a tie for 41st in the 2013 Memorial, has made a habit of excelling on golf’s biggest stages.
