The Jack Nicklaus design is a stern test of golf, and that, combined with Jack&#8217;s presence during the week, draws an elite-level field to Dublin, Ohio, every year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2020 redesign stretched the par-72 track to 7,533 from the tips, making it the 9th longest on Tour. The fairways are generous, though tighter after the redesign, but the rough is tall and thick if you miss the fairways. Players should also expect firm, contoured bentgrass greens, with a premium put on elite approach play from 175 yards out. Jack&#8217;s goal is to force the winner to use every club in his bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Memorial Tournament 2023 Betting Preview | Picks and Predictions\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/84EwTwPj4r0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For more course details, check out&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PGASplits101\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ron&#8217;s<\/a>&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/betspertsgolf.com\/golf-betting\/2023-the-memorial-at-muirfield-village-golf-club-preview\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">course preview<\/a>. It&#8217;s the best in the business, bar none. Here&#8217;s an important tidbit about Muirfield Village:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>After the 2020 event, Nicklaus oversaw an extensive course renovation that saw new tees added on five holes, a complete reconstruction of the green complexes with bentgrass surfaces, and recontoured bunkers. The 15th hole was also completely rebuilt. This renovation also lengthened the course by close to 100 yards. Since last year&#8217;s tournament, new tees have been added on No. 16 and No. 17, which has further lengthened the course by around 40 yards. Looking back from 2016-2020, Muirfield Village played to an average score of 0.75 over par. When analyzing the data after last year&#8217;s renovation, it has played significantly more difficult at an average of 1.02 strokes over par.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Three of the par-3s are over 200 yards and play a combined 0.62 over par. And the shortest one, the 180-yard 12th hole, has the highest bogey-or-worse rate at 26%. They are the toughest par-3s on Tour. Players will be hitting long irons into small and firm greens and will have their patience tested.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>There is not a single par-4 that plays under par. The only par-4s that are even close are the two holes that are under 400 yards. Seven of them play between 450-500 yards which is a range that should be targeted with players who have success from that yardage.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>My goal with this piece is to touch on the golfers I&#8217;m targeting this week. There are millions of ways to bet on this beautiful game, so I&#8217;ll share my opinion on the best way to bet on each golfer in my player pool at this week&#8217;s event. When pricing out finishing position bets (T5, T10, T20s, etc.), I&#8217;ll often lean towards&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/betspertsgolf.com\/go\/betmgm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BetMGM<\/a>&nbsp;even if there&#8217;s a better number elsewhere because of MGM&#8217;s advantageous dead-heat rules. So know the rules of the books that you&#8217;re betting on!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please take advantage of the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/HujqSwCvwR\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discord<\/a>&nbsp;feature and community.
