Rory McIlroy, who has won nearly $14 million this year, will not be at the Muirfield Village Golf Club for the first time since 2017. But the rest of the money leaders are in the 72-player field, a group led by Scottie Scheffler, who won the event last year.

Jack Nicklaus said Tuesday he was surprised Rory McIlroy decided to skip the Memorial for the first time since 2017 and that he hasn’t spoken to him since McIlroy won the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam.
