Golf Tips - Memorial Tournament Course form

Hi all

I have the briefest of time before my holiday, so no hint at anything professional.  Below is the course form for this week's event at Muirfield Ohio.  The table is produced in the same way as previous, namely

My course analysis goes back to 2001 and I analyse in the following way:

• Tournament experience, with a maximum 8 points if a player has played 6 or more times
• Tournament history, with a maximum 10 points if a player has ever won the event, with further increments down to down to 2 points for any top 25.  
• Tournament form in 2012, 2011 and 2010, with up to 4 points available for each year.  
• Course experience points - As per tournament form, but for the specific course in use.  In reality, this is not a factor here as Muirfield host course in this period with exception of 2007, when 3 courses were used including Muirfield.  

As we are looking at course form in years gone by, not all in the field make the list due to 2012 being their debut year.  The final field is subject to potential change, so I have included the alternates for the event in the list also.  

So, looking purely at course and history form, with a ranking system that aims to differentiate between players who do consistently well and those who don't (either one hit wonders or those consistent performers who do not really challenge), we get the following results (Choi won in the 3 course format of 2007, so be wary of thinking him irresistible this week:
