The Memorial Tournament<\/a> rolls on Friday from Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, as players compete for a $4 million prize, 700 FedEx Cup points and, of course, a handshake from legendary tournament host Jack Nicklaus.<\/p>\n

This is the seventh of eight signature events on the PGA Tour’s 2026 schedule, but unlike some other signature events, there is a cut at the Memorial. Only the top 50 and ties, plus any players within 10 shots of the lead, will secure a tee time for the weekend, making Friday’s round more important for those who struggled Thursday.<\/p>\n

Follow along with Golfweek below for live updates, scores, highlights and more from the second round of the 2026 Memorial Tournament.<\/p>\n

Xander Schauffele rolls in long birdie at No. 7<\/p>\n

Just a little tap is all this one needed. Schauffele drains this long birdie at the par-5 seventh to get to 2 under for the tournament and into the top 10 on the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler shanks bunker shot, saves par<\/p>\n

You don’t see this very often from PGA Tour pros, but it’s proof that the shanks can impact even the best player in the world. Scottie Scheffler hit a full-blown shank out of the bunker at the par-5 fifth, but still managed to save par. He is, however, in grave danger of missing the cut. As of 1:25 p.m. ET, Scheffler is 3 over through 12 holes and 4 over for the tournament.<\/p>\n

Is there a cut at the 2026 Memorial?<\/p>\n

Tommy Fleetwood saves round, smiles about Muirfield<\/p>\n

Tommy Fleetwood respects Muirfield Village Golf Club.\u00a0“It’s like the ultimate test of your game,” he said. Asked why he likes the Jack Nicklaus layout, Fleetwood shot back, “I didn’t say I like it,” and smiled and laughed. He liked the number on the scorecard that he signed for on Thursday\u00a0during the first round of the Memorial<\/a>\u00a0in Dublin, Ohio \u2013 a 5-under 67 that included just 21 putts and a phenomenal short-game clinic.<\/p>\n

He also had a funny smile when asked why he likes Muirfield Village.<\/p>\n

How much money is on the line at the Memorial?<\/p>\n
