NEW FAN DESTINATIONS

Sent on Monday, March 27, 2017

Undoubtedly you might recognize the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide for providing fans with great entertainment and having compelling winners, and you likely have a memorable moment or two from this premiere stop on the PGA TOUR. Golf’s greatest champion, Jack Nicklaus, hosts one of the truly elite fields in golf May 29 – June 4 at storied Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, for the 42nd playing of the Memorial.

What you may not think about as you take in all that the Memorial has to offer with family and friends is the concentrated efforts Tournament officials make each year to connect with fans. In 2017, the Tournament is introducing several new venues and attractions that have been designed to appeal to all patrons. Whether you simply love being outdoors, enjoy the social scene at one of central Ohio’s largest sporting events, or are a die-hard golf fan, you will have a variety of experiences throughout the golf course to choose from at this year’s Memorial.

The Patio at Patron Village is an area open to all Tournament patrons located between the Memorial’s 10th fairway and 14th green. The Patio is an ideal spot to hang out, and it includes outdoor games like corn hole, darts and a custom golf experience called the “Bunker Challenge”. Take a picture with your friends at the selfie wall, check out the car you’ve always wanted at the Lexus Car Display and choose from enhanced food and beverage options, including Beers of the Memorial from MillerCoors and the Patrόn House featuring custom cocktails.  

Looking to lounge and have a great view of one of the best par-3 holes in golf? The Hill on No. 12 will be your destination, located on the Memorial Tournament’s signature 12th hole with brilliant views of competition at one of the most picturesque spots at world-renowned Muirfield Village Golf Club. Relax in Adirondack chairs and don’t worry about missing a minute of the action, or even leaving your seat, thanks to the available chair-side wait service.

For those who are looking for the perfect place to stop after Tournament play, The 19th Hole at the Memorial Tournament is a new venue open to the public, Wednesday, May 31 through Saturday June 3 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tournament passes are not required and there’s no cover charge. The 19th Hole is located near the Memorial’s Sixth Tee entrance/exit off State Route 745/Dublin Road. Call your friends. This will be a sports bar environment complete with a beer and wine patio, food trucks and live music.

And last, but certainly not least, if the corporate route is more your style, The 1976 Club is your place. Located on Muirfield Village Golf Club’s signature par-3 12th hole, this new open-air venue, will be open Thursday through Sunday. It offers spectacular views of the competition and features a large patio and flat-screen televisions. Access to The 1976 Club includes daily patron badges, parking, a full-service bar and snacks. With customizable packages available, this venue is the perfect option for companies looking for a flexible on-course entertainment choice at the Memorial.

Don’t miss a minute of the action, both on the golf course and at the new fan destinations. The Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide is definitely the way to kick off summer.
