Following yet another thrilling week that saw Bryson DeChambeau pick up his sixth victory, the PGA Tour now heads to Dublin, Ohio, for the all-new Workday Charity Open, which has replaced the John Deere Classic on the golf calendar for this year.
The Workday Charity Open is the first of two consecutive events at Muirfield Village
The Workday Charity Open is the first of two consecutive events at Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village Golf Club. Next week, of course, the Golden Bear will host his annual tournament, the Memorial, which many believe will feature the return of Tiger Woods to the PGA Tour.
The course setup for the Workday Charity Open and the Memorial will be a bit different in regards to pin placements, the length of the course, and the length of the rough. So while the players in the field this week will obviously get some work in at Muirfield, those who also tee it up next week will see a different setup.

World No. 6 Brooks Koepka, who withdrew from the Travelers Championship two weeks ago after his caddie, Ricky Elliott, was diagnosed with COVID-19, makes his return to the PGA Tour this week and is one of seven top-15 players in the field at the Workday Charity Open.
Also teeing it up this week at Muirfield are No. 2 Jon Rahm, No. 5 Justin Thomas, No. 8 Patrick Cantlay, No. 9 Patrick Reed, No. 11 Xander Schauffele, and No. 13 Justin Rose.
Brooks Koepka’s younger brother, 26-year-old Chase Koepka, is also in the field. Chase was set to play the Travelers Championship after going through Monday qualifying but also withdrew as a precaution and will play the Workday Charity Open on a sponsor exemption.
