The 2025 finish came down to a familiar Memorial formula: thick rough, firm targets, nervy approaches, and a leaderboard that had to survive one of the strongest closing tests on the PGA Tour schedule. Muirfield Village was again presented as a complete examination. The rough had grown to around five inches, the wind remained enough of a factor to influence shot shape and club choice, and the 18th hole loomed as a serious final test. Early in the round, Shane Lowry tried to spark his Sunday with a birdie at the 1st, Sam Burns produced quality iron play, Tommy Fleetwood attacked tough par-3 pins, and Jordan Spieth somehow escaped with one of the wildest pars of the day after a loose opening tee shot. Around the course, the highlight reel showed how quickly momentum could change. Patrick Cantlay walked in a birdie at the 2nd, Russell Henley poured in key putts, Ricky Fowler moved into the mix, and Ben Griffin refused to let the tournament become a runaway. Griffin made a late push with bold scoring at the par-5 15th, turning eagle-birdie momentum into one last message that the tournament was not completely over. But the final word belonged to Scottie Scheffler. The world No. 1 handled the course, the pressure, and the late Griffin charge with the controlled closing style that has defined his best wins. Scheffler’s precision into Muirfield Village’s demanding greens gave him the cushion he needed, and when the final putt dropped, he was the repeat champion at Jack’s event. This 2025 Memorial recap sets the stage for the 2026 tournament week now building at Muirfield Village, where players will again have to manage deep rough, difficult greens, pressure-packed par saves, and the kind of closing stretch that can expose even the smallest mistake.
