DUBLIN, OHIO - The Memorial Tournament presented by Workday and Crawford Hoying announced today that Bridge Park – the walkable, mixed-use community in downtown Dublin – will continue to serve as the Tournament’s official offsite destination in 2025.

“The Memorial values its partnership with Crawford Hoying and is proud to continue supporting the Bridge Park district and Fore!Fest—featuring something for everyone, including live music, food and beverage options, restaurants and shops, and the Memorial Golf Shop at Bridge Park,” said Memorial Tournament Executive Director Dan Sullivan. “Since Fore!Fest began in 2018, this special community event has quickly grown into a fan favorite for golf and music enthusiasts alike.”
