How to watch the 2022 WGC-Dell Match Play at Austin Country Club

If you're among those fans looking for a breather from the usual 72-hole stroke-play competition on the PGA Tour, this is your week. The WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play is the lone event of its kind during the season, with round-robin play beginning on Wednesday. Sixteen four-man groups will compete among themselves the first three days, with the player earning the most points working their way into a knockout bracket of matches on Saturday (Sweet 16 and quarterfinals) and Sunday (semifinals and finals).

The top 64 players in the World Ranking are eligible with all but five competing. Among them is Bryson DeChambeau, who will be playing for the first time on tour since the Farmers Insurance Open in January after taking time off to heal injuries to his hand and hip. DeChambeau's "pod" includes Talor Gooch, Lee Westwood and Richard Bland.
