The Memorial Tournament is the PGA Tour's Columbus-area event, with the tournament having been played around Memorial Day since its inception in 1976. The event, which is considered an elevated invitational on the PGA Tour schedule, is hosted by Jack Nicklaus at his Muirfield Village Golf Club. Nicklaus has tinkered with the host course many times over the years, seeking to offer a major-caliber test for players who travel to his home city to compete in the tournament. The event has one of the largest non-major purses on the PGA Tour and offers a three-year PGA Tour exemption to winners. Tiger Woods has the most victories in the event's history, with five wins, including three in a row from 1999-2001. Kenny Perry has won the event three times, with Nicklaus himself winning twice.
A choice piece of course used golf history, offered here is an original scorecard from the opening round of the 1998 Memorial Golf Tournament at the Muirfield Village Golf Club, showcasing the complete detailed score of none other than The Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus. Scoring a 74 overall, the card showcases Nicklaus' details typed at the top and the card is signed by Nicklaus in graphite pencil in the designated Competitor's Signature spot. The scorecard is well preserved and stands in overall excellent condition. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
