Front Nine: WGC Accenture Match Play

Rather than pick nine players to watch out for I have selected the outcome of all 64 matches. I did so last year and feel I should fail publicly one more time. Click Here to see my picks and feel free to laugh uncontrollably as my players fall like dominoes.

I'm not sure if you've heard but Tiger Woods is not playing this week. Neither is Phil Mickelson, World #3. Phil is on vacation with his family and Tiger is, well, let's not go there. In any case I still love this event because of the format as I have long been an advocate for more match play. The structure of the event allows for showcasing far more than a few marquee names who happen to be the afternoon tee times on a Thursday. With the top 64 players in the world playing head-to-head American fans are able to watch players from the European and other tours that they would not be exposed to normally.

Good luck to everyone who filled out a bracket this year and I look forward to a great week of match play!
