Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have been confirmed as participants in the Memorial Skins Game on Wednesday.

The events is aimed at raising funds for The First Tee charity and Wednesday's renewal, which is played over the back nine at Muirfield Village, features a who's who of the game of golf.

Jack Nicklaus, founder of the Memorial Tournament, will lead out the first group alongside Phil Mickelson, Sean O'Hair, and former Memorial winners Kenny Perry and Ernie Els.

Group Two will be headed by Tiger Woods, making his return from a neck injury, and the world No. 1 will be alongside Rory McIlroy, Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson and Jim Furyk.

Under-18s will be admitted free and with the lure of witnessing the world No. 1 in a relaxed environment - the players will be wearing wireless microphones - the event is likely to draw a good crowd.
