the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday 2025 Tournament Dates

“The relationship the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday has enjoyed with the PGA TOUR is more like a partnership. The TOUR has acted in the best interest of the Memorial Tournament, and we, in turn, have always supported the TOUR and its initiatives. That is why a year ago when the TOUR presented us its new business model, we were willing to work with them and move the 2024 date to a week before the U.S. Open. Over recent months, we have had a number of conversations with Jay Monahan and his team—ones that have included our presenting sponsor Workday and Co-Founder and Executive Chair Aneel Bhusri—and together we determined that in the best interest of the Memorial Tournament, the TOUR and its players, we would return to our traditional date and start Tournament week on the Memorial Day holiday.”

– Jack Nicklaus, the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday Founder & Host 

PGA TOUR and the tournament announced that it will return to two weeks prior to the U.S. Open, with the RBC Canadian Open being moved into the slot the week before the U.S. Open.

Nicklaus, the 84 year old Hall of Fame Golfer, said at his annual Memorial Tournament News Conference two weeks ago that he agreed to the date switch in order help out the PGA Tour and be a good host and partner. The TOUR had to make scheduling changes to accommodate its $20 million signature events, including the popular Memorial.
