Tiger Woods struggled on Friday in the second round of the Memorial Tournament, managing a mere two-over 74 to sit at plus-one overall through 36 holes—just two strokes ahead of the projected three over-par cut line. As a five-time champion in the Jack Nicklaus-hosted event at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, it was surprising that Woods couldn’t get anything going in Round...

The 2013 Memorial Tournament features an elite field as always, headlined by defending champion Tiger Woods. As a five-time winner of this event and prohibitive favorite coming off his victory at The Players Championship, the world’s No. 1 has plenty of success to draw on from the past and present.

Zach Johnson is the defending champion...
