The PGA Tour this week features the 2025 the Memorial Tournament starting on Thursday at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.

My PGA Tour field ranking for the Memorial Tournament looks at the top 10 players in this 72-player field that brings together the PGA Tour in the Columbus area at Jack's place in Ohio.

The Memorial Tournament is back, and the world No. 1 is playing both weeks after winning the PGA Championship. The rest of the field is strong, though Rory McIlroy isn't playing this week as he takes some time off.

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top PGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2025 the Memorial Tournament rankings.

2025 the Memorial Tournament expert picks and rankings

1. Scottie Scheffler: The best in the world and the PGA champion is playing this week, and he didn't play well and finished very well last week.

2. Collin Morikawa: Morikawa may be a bit too high here, but he's won here, and he is a tremendous ballstriker.

3. Xander Schauffele: At some point, Schauffele has to find what he's missing, right? Maybe it's this week at a place he likes.

4. Sepp Straka: Straka won in Philly, then missed the cut at the PGA, but he's a multi-time winner crushing it this year.

5. Tommy Fleetwood: Fleetwood tied with Scottie at Colonial, which is excellent. However, we're still waiting that first W in America.

6. Tony Finau: Finau has been in 8th place here twice in the last five years, and he's been in the top 19 of his last two starts.

7. Denny McCarthy: McCarthy comes in off a T-8 at the PGA, which his tremendous for him. He has a strong record here, too, and he started the last Signature event strong at Philly Cricket.

8. Si Woo Kim: Si Woo could slot a little higher this week given he's quite a horse-for-course play here and bounced back well last week from a poor opening round.

9. Ben Griffin: The Colonial champion is probably gassed, but he continues to play great golf throughout a tremendous season.

10. Rickie Fowler: I'm going to put Rick on this list just because he's a fan of Muirfield Village and had a good week at Colonial until Sunday.
