The second round of the 2026 Memorial Tournament gets underway Friday at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, with a stacked field looking to position themselves for the weekend. After an opening day that saw challenging conditions and some early contenders emerge, the tee times for Round 2 have been released, featuring marquee groups that include Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, and several other top names.
McIlroy, who opened with a solid round on Thursday, will tee off in the afternoon alongside Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele, a trio that has combined for multiple major titles. Spieth, seeking to recapture his form at Jack Nicklaus's event, is grouped with Viktor Hovland and Patrick Cantlay in a morning wave that should draw large crowds. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is also in the field, playing with Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas in what promises to be one of the most-watched groups of the day.
The course is expected to play firm and fast again, with the rough growing thicker as the tournament progresses. Players who struggled with the greens on Thursday will need sharp putting to avoid missing the cut. Friday's pairings run from early morning until late afternoon, with the leaders going off in the final groups. The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and a slight breeze, which could keep scoring conditions manageable. Fans along the fairways will be watching closely to see who can separate from the pack heading into the weekend.
