Thursday’s Remembrance Times: What you need to know
Rory McIlroy has accomplished more than most golfers in history: two Masters wins, six major titles and 30 PGA Tour wins (and counting).
But one thing McIlroy has never done is swing Jack Nicklaus’ hand before the Remembrance trophy is raised in Muirfield Village. The World No. 2 hopes to change that and his quest begins on Thursday.
So far this season, McIlroy has played just seven PGA Tour the events. In that short time, he has collected three top-10s and a big win at Augusta National.
A victory at the Signature Event this week would earn McIlroy $4 million and provide positive momentum heading into the 2026 US Open at Shinnecock Hills later this month.
McIlroy tees off for the opening round Thursday at 10:25 a.m. ET together Justin Thomas.
