There is a different format in the golf world this week, as the world’s best compete in a head-to-head format rather than playing 72 holes. Here are the three golfers we like in the 2023 World Match Play Golf Championship from Austin, Texas.

Scottie Scheffler

The 2022 World Matchplay Golf championship winner was sensational in Austin a year ago. He won Group 5 by beating England’s Ian Poulter and Matt Fitzpatrick (2022 United States Open champion), and then eliminated Billy Horschel of the United States 2&1 in the round of 16, Seamus Power of Ireland 3&2 in the quarterfinals, 2016 United States Open champion and 2020 Masters champion Dustin Johnson of the United States 3&1 in the semifinals, and then Kevin Kisner of the United States 4&3 in the final. If there is one thing we know is that Scheffler is great with momentum. He won his last tournament–the 2023 Players Championship.

Rory McIlroy

The world number three has won the tournament in the past. In 2015 in San Francisco, he defeated American Gary Woodland 4 & 2 in the final. McIlroy has also won 12 career matches at the Ryder Cup which could give him confidence in Texas this week.

Kevin Kisner

The native of Aiken, South Carolina has had unbelievable success at the World Match Play Golf Championships over the last five years. He beat Matt Kuchar in the 2019 final, and reached the final before losing to two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson in 2018 and Scheffler in 2023.
