Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, HOF wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and country music star Luke Bryan headline the celebrity field scheduled to participate in Wednesday's Memorial Tournament pro-am at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.
The Memorial also announced that world No. 4-ranked Matt Fitzpatrick and No. 5 Justin Rose have committed to the signature PGA Tour event, giving the tournament nine of the top-10 ranked players in the world who will tee it up. The only pro inside the top 10 not competing is No. 6 Collin Morikawa, who is rehabilitating a back injury.
Manning, Fitzgerald and Bryan are past pro-am participants. Manning played 18 seasons in the NFL, winning Super Bowls with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. He holds NFL records for most passing touchdowns in a season (55) and most passing yards in a season (5,477) and was a five-time league MVP.
Fitzgerald spent all 17 of his NFL seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, finishing with 1,432 receptions for 17,429 yards. He holds NFL records for most receiving yards in the playoffs (546) as well as most receiving touchdowns in the postseason (7).
Bryan is a five-time "Entertainer of the Year" winner, as chosen by the Academy of Country Music Awards and the Country Music Association.
The Memorial has received official commitments from 71 of the maximum 72 players allowed, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who seeks his third consecutive title at Muirfield, and No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who has never won this event. The field also features 16 players who have won major championships, including five — McIlroy, Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas — with multiple majors.
The 72nd player will not be known until after the Charles Schwab Challenge finishes Sunday. Viktor Hovland, winner of the 2023 Memorial, withdrew from this year's tournament Friday.
