By its very name, the Memorial Tournament is all about remembering. Yes, Jack Nicklaus in part created the PGA Tour event in 1976 to bless Columbus with world-class golf, but recognizing history also was very important to the Golden Bear.

Nicklaus realized his legacy would be tied to those who came before him, including Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan and Bobby Jones. But also after, including Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth.

Jack’s vision has come to fruition, delivering the goods by bringing an annual golf present to Columbus but also preserving for posterity special moments in time.

What follows are the best in 45 years of Memorials — selected by this high-handicapper and retired Dispatch golf writer Bob Baptist, who covered every Memorial from 1976 through 2014.
