The hotly contested World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play tees off Wednesday, March 27th at Austin Country Club. All the big names in the sport will be competing, with the exception of Rickie Fowler and Adam Scott, who declined.

The first three days will consist of 16 groups of four golfers each playing everyone in their group once in a round robin format to decide which golfers will advance to the sweet 16. After that, single elimination knockout matches occur all the way to the final, where a champion is crowned.

Tommy Fleetwood Primed for 1st US victory

Tommy Fleetwood has been playing some great golf of late, holding 36 hole leads in his last two events – the Players Championship and Arnold Palmer Invitational.

While he wasn’t able to convert those into victories, Fleetwood is gaining valuable experience stateside. He was also brilliant in the 2018 Match Play format at the Ryder Cup, going 4-1 and leading Europe to victory, so he’s proven to be a strong match play competitor.

At +2200, Fleetwood is a tremendous bet to make this week in the unpredictable format that is match play.

Should You Bet on Bubba Watson to Repeat at WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play?

For a guy coming off a fourth place finish last week you’d think Bubba Watson would have a little more confidence in his ability to defend his WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play title.

Bubba Watson heads into his title defense at next week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play with a little momentum from Valspar, but don’t bank on a repeat run through the bracket.

Is he downplaying his chances to alleviate the pressure or does he simply not believe he can win back-to-back events, despite watching Paul Casey do just that Sunday at the Valspar Championship? Bubba is a volatile golfer to predict, but I say he deserves a strong look at +2800 this week.
