There’s a reason golf’s match play comes but once a year Globe_Sports
Tiger Woods plays a shot from a bunker on the 16th hole during a practice round at the Dell Match Play Championship golf tournament, on March 26, 2019, in Austin, Tex.Rory McIlroy says he loves match play because he believes it is the purest form of golf.He also prefers single elimination, which he referred to as “straight knockout.” In simple terms, lose and go home.
Think back to the Players Championship two weeks ago, when eight players had a share of the lead on the final day. In the match play, it comes down to two players over the final four hours, and that’s assuming it lasts that long. Watson only had to play 12 holes to win. What would make the consolation match compelling is having Woods. In his 13 appearances, Woods has lost in every round except the semi-finals. Put him in the consolation match, and it would be fun to compare which match had the biggest gallery and how much TV time each would get.And it’s why the PGA Tour never once considered any form of match play to decide the FedEx Cup at the Tour Championship. It is good to have match play once a year because it is the purest form of golf.
“If I lose on Wednesday, I want to go home,” Casey said. “As much golf and excitement and drama to the end is ideal, but I don’t know what the solution is.”Story continues below advertisement
