Who’s ready for some match play?
The PGA Tour’s best – 64 of the world’s top 77 players – are bound for Austin Country Club this week for the final playing of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. The famed club in the Texas capital has been the host of the Match Play since 2016 when Dell became the title sponsor. As one of the Tour’s designated events for the season, the loaded field will be competing for a tournament-record purse of $20 million in its final year.
For those unfamiliar with the format, here’s how it goes: The 64 players are seeded and placed in 16 different groups. Golfers play everyone in their group in matches from Wednesday-Friday and earn one point for a win and half a point for a tie. The 16 group winners with the most points will then advance to the knockout stage with the Round of 16 on Saturday morning, the quarterfinals on Saturday afternoon, semifinals on Sunday morning final and third place-matches on Sunday afternoon.
With a great field comes some must-watch matches. Here are 10 showdowns you won’t want to miss at the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.
