Golf’s edition of March Madness is here as the PGA Tour is in Austin, Texas, for the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play at Austin Country Club for the final time.
Eight of the top nine players in the Official World Golf Ranking are in the field — No. 5 Cam Smith is ineligible while No. 10 Justin Thomas chose to take the week off due to an unsuccessful resume at ACC.
World No. 1 and Players champion Scottie Scheffler is looking to defend a title successfully for the second time this season (WM Phoenix Open). The Texan is the betting favorite at +800 followed by Jon Rahm at +1100.
