Tournament officials recently announced a new selection process for how the 16 groups of the event’s new group-play format will be determined.

Looking forward to this a lot. Love the Match Play format, not sure if that poule system will be an improvement but the mano a mano matches will be great anyway.

Not a fan of the new format, but understand why they're doing it. Will still watch. Hopefully the cream rises to the top and we have a good weekend of matches.


Luke Donald will skip it to attend his brothers wedding, so Jimenez will take his spot. Francesco Molinari will take the injured Tim Clark's position.

So Ilonen got in. One to watch I guess, he won last's years Volvo World Matchplay after beating Luiten in the semi final, and Stenson in the final.

I love match play...I just wish they could find a way to implement it into the FedEx cup...maybe when they get down to 32 players go to the match play format

Players play, tough players win!

Top 64 in the Official World Golf Rankings qualify.  He's seeded #115, so he's not in the OWGR top 64.

Maybe it's me and I've missed something extraordinary but how does Anirban Lahiri get to 34 in the world? Something must be screwy with the OWGR.

they should have a 3-4 wild cards......lol that the PGA is trying to copy college basketball's successful "Selection Sunday" somewhat......


[url=http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/cadillac-match-play/news/2015/04/27/cadillac-match-play-group-draw.html]The groups have been drawn.[/url] I don't see any obvious groups of death, but McIlroy, Watson, Walker, and Dustin Johnson will all have tough tasks to get out of their groups unscathed. Also worth pointing out: the Harding Park course is routed this week like it was during the Presidents Cup in 2009, with the normal finishing stretch of holes along Lake Merced playing as holes 10 through 14.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...


Dang this would be a good one for DraftKings but I don't see a contest.

    • Day 159: did a stack session.  
    • Day 84 - 2024-12-23 I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.
    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
