2010 The Memorial Tournament Review:
This weeks PGA TOUR golf tournament is the Memorial Presented by Morgan Stanley. Jack Nicklaus designed Murfield Village Golf Club and this is his host event. Jack did an amazing job creating this facility in Ohio and is considered one of the best non-major golf tournaments in the world.

On Wednesday June 2nd, there is schedule to be the 2nd annual Skins Game. Last year it was a major hit with Tiger chipping in on the last hole to clean house. It was an added event in replace to the Pro-Am.

The Memorial Tournament Picks:
Well, here we go again, Tiger Woods will be in the field for this weeks PGA TOUR golf tournament. Also in the field will be world #2 Phil Mickelson. Phil had the chance to win last week and take over Tiger’s #1 ranking, but instead failed to make the cut. This will be an exciting tournament to watch with several of the best players in the world competing this week, and all eyes will be on Tiger and Phil again.

To win Jack’s golf tournament, a player must have the complete game. My top 6 picks this week are Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Ernie Els, Zach Johnson and Jim Furyk. I do predict one of these 6 players winning this week, and out of these 6 I like Phil, Ernie and Furyk the best. Tiger will win and win soon, but he is still going through some major personal issues and neck injury. Stricker was out for 6 weeks with an injury but did play last week at Colonial to defend his title. And Zach Johnson just won last week and it’s extremely tough to win back to back weeks on the PGA TOUR. Those are my Top Picks, we will see how they finish.
