Scottie Scheffler, the current world No. 1 and defending PLAYERS champion, will compete this week in the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play alongside other top PGA Tour players. Scheffler claimed the world’s top position with his PLAYERS triumphs two weeks ago after winning the Phoenix Open for the second consecutive year in February.
The 2023 WGC-Match Play field, which consists of 64 of the best PGA Tour golfers, will begin play on Wednesday at the Austin Country Club. Eight of the top nine golfers in the world, including top-five players Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, are scheduled to compete.
Two weeks before winning his first Major Championship at the Masters, Scheffler defeated Kevin Kisner in the event’s final four and three, starting what would be a historic run for the University of Texas alum.
Can Scheffler repeat again? Or does someone else on the odds board present more value? Let’s take a closer look.
