Rickie Fowler is back at Muirfield Village Golf Club for the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, and the U.S. player arrives with a recent result that still stands out. The tournament is set for June 4-7, 2026, giving Fowler another chance to test himself at one of the PGA TOUR's most watched stops.
He is being followed now because his most recent trip to this event ended with a tied-for-seventh finish at 1-under in 2025. That was a strong week by any measure, and it makes this year's start more interesting for anyone tracking form heading into the Memorial.
The Memorial has a habit of separating clean ball-strikers from everyone else, which is why Fowler's previous finish matters. He did enough in 2025 to leave with a top-10 result, and those numbers are the reason his name sits near the top of the conversation again as the 2026 event gets underway.
Still, last year's result is a marker, not a guarantee. Fowler's 2025 showing proves he can handle Muirfield Village, but it does not answer whether he will carry that level into this week's tournament. That is the gap now: a solid memory from one Memorial and a fresh start that has yet to be played.
For Fowler, the next step is simple and immediate. He opens the 2026 Memorial Tournament presented by Workday at Muirfield Village Golf Club from June 4-7, and that is where the comparison to 2025 begins again.
