Muirfield Village Golf Club Muirfield
Village Golf Club was the dream and
work of Jack Nicklaus. The land was
acquired in 1966, but construction did
not begin until July 28, 1972. The course
is situated on 220 acres including an
11-acre driving range and was officially
dedicated on Memorial Day, May 27, 1974,
with an exhibition match between Nicklaus
and Tom Weiskopf. The 18-hole layout,
selected by Golf Digest as No. 16 among
"Americas 100 Greatest Courses,"
plays at 7,163 yards at present with
a Par 36-36-72 and with 69 bunkers.
Water can be a hazard on 11 holes. A
Columbus Pro-Am on August 11, 1975 was
the first event held at Muirfield, and
the first Memorial Tournament was played
in May, 1976.
When Jack turned his attention to the
tournament that would call Muirfield
Village Golf Club its home, he had in
mind what many have called Jack's second
home - Augusta National Golf Club. During
Masters Week in 1966, Jack spoke of
his desire to create a tournament that,
like the Masters, had a global interest,
but was inspired by the history and
traditions of the game of golf.
Jack's tournament would embrace all
that was special about this great game.
Finally, it was Jack's desire to create
a tournament that would remember and
honor the great golfers of the past,
and those individuals who built the
foundation to a game that today is played
and enjoyed by millions around the world.
He wanted this tournament to "give
back" in the form of charitable
contributions to organizations benefiting
needy adults and children throughout
Columbus and Ohio. This would complete
Jack's vision.
Thus, the Memorial Tournament was born. |
