The Memorial TournamentJack Nicklaus, arguably the greatest golfer in the history of the sport, created The Memorial Tournament to be able to bring together some of the best golfers in the world in his own backyard. This year the Memorial Tournament field is going to be as tight as it has ever been, and it is up to us to make our Memorial picks to try to be The Memorial odds.

2013 The Memorial Predictions & Info

2013 The Memorial Location: Muirfield Village Golf Club, Dublin, OH
Defending The Memorial Winner: Tiger Woods
2013 The Memorial TV Coverage – Network: Golf Channel, CBS

As is the case so often in golf betting action, it is seemingly Tiger Woods (Defending The Memorial Champion, The Memorial Odds: 2.20 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook) against the field. Woods has won this tournament a record five times, including last year when he won by two strokes over a field that really never seemed to be capable of competing against him. In spite of the fact that he hasn’t won a major tournament this year, Tiger has played well everywhere that he has gone. He is the world’s No. 1 ranked player again, and he is ranked No. 1 in virtually every vital statistic involving winning and money. Woods already has four wins on the campaign, including in his most recent start at the PGA Championship, one of the biggest wins that he has had in quite some time.

We really love what Adam Scott (The Memorial Tournament PGA Odds: 20 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook) is bringing to the table as well. Scott of course, won the Masters this year, becoming the first Australian to ever claim the Green Jacket. Scott got off to a great start at the TPC at Sawgrass, but he ultimately had a frustrating weekend, shooting 75 and 71. This has been a recurring theme for Scott this year. At the Masters, he had two great rounds over the weekend, but so many times, he has struggled, particularly on Saturdays, and he has averaged just a 71.6 in his five tournaments this year on the second to last day of events. Still, we think that the Aussie has enough to win the Memorial.

Kevin Streelman (Odds to Win The Memorial: 95 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook) hasn’t won a tournament recently, but he really looks poised to be able to do so in the very near future. This is the man that shocked in the win at the Tampa Bay Championship. However, Streelman really has been impressive seemingly wherever he has gone. He didn’t make the cut at the Crowne Plaza Invitational last week, but aside from that, he has been remarkable. Streelman has finished sixth or better in four tournaments this year, three of which have come since the end of tax season. The Wells Fargo Championship was a very comparable event, and he finished sixth in that tourney. Most impressive though, might have been the second place finish at the TPC at Sawgrass, right behind Woods. If Woods is a 2 to 1 favorite, Streelman probably shouldn’t be nearly 100 to 1.

We’re trusting that at some point, Brandt Snedeker (Odds to Win The Memorial Tournament: 30 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook) is going to get back to the form that he was in at the start of the year. Snedeker finished third or better in four of his first five events of the season, but he has finished 59th or worse in three of his last four. However, Snedeker did finish sixth at the Masters a month and a half ago, and he finished eighth at The Players Championship. Snedeker is always one of these golfers that could put together a tremendous tournament, and though he only has five wins on the PGA Tour in his career, this could be his lucky tournament at the Memorial this week.
