WGC-Dell Match Play TV Schedule, Tee Times, Odds: The March Madness of Golf
By Michael Shamburger
The World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play held at Austin Country Club in Austin, Texas starts Wednesday. The winner will take home a nice $1,620,000 and claim 550 FedExCup points. The field consists of the top 64 golfers according to the official world golf rankings; so basically, it’s the best of the best.
Last year’s defending champ, Rory McIlroy is grouped with Kevin Na, Smylie Kaufman, and Thorbjorn Olesen, but this is really anyone’s game. There are so many possibilities and any of these guys could get hot and go on a run that it’s almost impossible to pick who will emerge victorious. Obviously the favorites are Spieth, McIlroy, Day, and Scott, but guys like Fowler, Garcia, Watson, and Rose could easily walk away with this thing. So, the same as every tournament really.
