Format for the WGC-Dell Match Play

So they divide the 64 players into 16 groups of four. And each player competes against the other three golfers from their group over the first three days. Therefore, a win gives a point while a tie gives a half-point, and a loss is worth zero points. Hence, only the top players from each group will proceed to the knockout stage. 

Additionally, if two or more players finish with the same points at the top after three days, they will have to go through a sudden-death playoff. Therefore, fans have plenty of exciting golf coming up for this week. So here’s how things will go ahead this week:

Wednesday: Group Play

Thursday: Group Play

Friday: Group Play

Saturday: Round of 16 and quarterfinals

Sunday: semi-finals and final match
