Compared to more classic courses, Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, is still considered relatively young at 51-years-old. But it's resume as a championship venue stacks with some of the finest. In 1976, the PGA Tour debuted the Memorial Tournament, which has been a staple of the regular season every year since. It's hosted cup matches — the only course in the United States to host the Ryder (1987), Solheim (1998) and Presidents (2013). And Muirfield hosted the 1986 U.S. Junior Amateur and the 1992 U.S. Amateur.
