Welcome to FTW Explains, a guide to catching up on and better understanding stuff going on in the world. Are you confused as to why Hideki Matsuyama was DQ’d from The Memorial Tournament this week? We’re here to help.
The Memorial Tournament tends to be one of the more fun stops along the PGA Tour each year. The mid-season outing at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio not only gives the Tour a chance to honor Jack Nicklaus—who founded the tournament and designed the course—but it often leads to some pretty intense competition as far as non-major events go.
It ended up being a memorable stop for 2021 Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama for far different reasons this year.
