What will the weather be like?

Central Ohio’s weather has been cautiously obliging for the start of the Memorial Tournament, for the most part.

That might change for the second round.

More precipitation could fall if there are thunderstorms.

What happens if it rains at the Memorial Tournament?

Play could be suspended temporarily or ended for the day entirely if the weather gets bad enough, according to the tournament’s website. The Memorial Tournament does not offer rain checks if the day gets rained or stormed out.
