The 2022 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play was the 23rd WGC Match Play, played March 23–27 at Austin Country Club in Austin, Texas.

The tournament was won by 2021 runner-up Scottie Scheffler, who defeated Kevin Kisner 4 and 3 in the final. With the win, Scheffler's third in his last five starts, he rose to number one in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time.[1][2] Corey Conners beat Dustin Johnson 3 and 1 in the consolation match to claim third place.[1]

Format[edit]

The 64 players were placed into four seeded pools, the 16 highest ranked players as of March 21 in Pool A, the next 16 in Pool B, etc. The top seeds (Pool A) are placed into 16 groups in order, with the groups completed by means of a random draw of one player from each of the remaining pools.[3]

Each group was played as a round-robin of match play matches, held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with one point awarded for a win and half a point for a tie. The 16 group winners advanced to the knockout stage. If two or more players are tied on points at the end of the group stage, there was a sudden death stroke play playoff between the tied players to determine the winner of the group.[3]

In the knockout stage, the round of 16 was played on Saturday morning, with the quarterfinals on Saturday afternoon. The semifinals were played on Sunday morning, and the final and third place playoff were played on Sunday afternoon. In total, barring withdrawals, those reaching the last four played seven rounds of golf.[3]

Field[edit]

The following players qualified for the field, consisting of the top 64 players available from the Official World Golf Ranking on March 15.[3] They are listed with their world ranking as of March 21, which determined the seedings, and their world ranking as of March 15, which determined qualification, in parentheses.[4]
