Player advisory council rejects proposed Match Play format change

AUSTIN, Texas – Players were informed last week that a proposal had been presented to the player advisory council to dramatically change the format of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

The new format, which was requested by Dell Technologies, would double the number of players who advance out of match play group play to 32 for 36 holes of stroke-play competition on the weekend at Austin Country Club. According to the memo sent to players, the PAC “was not supportive of the proposed format change.”

“What would you call it?” laughed Paul Casey, a member of the 16-player PAC.
