The list of entrants includes, in order, the top six from in the Official World Golf Ranking: Woods, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Justin Rose (the 2010 winner), Brandt Snedeker and Luke Donald.

In addition to Woods, eight past winners of the Memorial Tournament will be returning to Muirfield Village Golf Club, including K.J. Choi, Fred Couples, Ernie Els, Jim Furyk, Kenny Perry, Carl Pettersson, Rose and Vijay Singh.

“We are always extremely proud of the fields we are able to assemble for the Memorial Tournament, and this year’s stands as one of our finest,” said Nicklaus, the Tournament Founder and Host. “We have the top five players in the world, and almost the entire top 10 from the FedEx Cup and money lists. We are delighted that world No. 1 Tiger Woods is returning to defend his victory from 2012, and that recent world No. 1s Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood have joined him. We have a wonderful mix of major championship winners and veterans as well as some of the rising stars in the game – from nine past Memorial winners to 14-year-old Chinese amateur Guan Tianlang.

“Our staff for both the Tournament and the Club work very hard to ensure that the experience during Memorial week is the most enjoyable possible for players and patrons. I think the players and patrons recognize this, and we appreciate their continued support.
