March Madness has gripped the nation. Brackets were meant to be busted, but our NCAA basketball brackets were never safe. This week’s WGC-Dell Matchplay is the last of the iconic event, as the PGA Tour makes room for more riveting events and exciting sponsorships going forward.

The best golfers in the world will begin group play on Wednesday. This is similar to the World Cup, where the four golfers in each of the 16 groups will compete in a round-robin to determine the one who continues into the knockout stage over the weekend.
