Scottie Scheffler returns to Austin Country Club to defend his title at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. By doing so, he would become the first person since Tiger Woods in 2004 to do so. The event will see 64 players, split into 16 groups of four compete in a round-robin format. After this, the player with the most points advances to single elimination play. Eight out of nine of the top players in the world with Ryder Cup teammates Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy both teeing it up in Texas. The Spaniard has been grouped with Rickie Fowler who, despite not winning on tour in over four years could prove a formidable opponent, having made the cut in every PGA TOUR event in 2023. McIlroy won the event in 2015 in which was the last WGC Match Play before it moved from Harding Park, California to Austin, Texas. Other notable names to look out for include 2021 winner Billy Horschel, two-time winner Jason Day and World No. 9 Viktor Hovland.

Imagine playing that clutch against someone and falling short. What a match.
Can I suggest you dont give the result in the summary? Bit of a spolier
👏🏻🥇
Ohhh the new tommy clip hurts
Amazing how the truest American is an Irishman. Love ❤️ you Rory.
What a match! Awesome effort from Lucas when Rors is obviously on fire.
Masters is on for sure. Playing too well not to factor this year.
Thanks, that was really good. Love that Rory is playing so well. 😅
Nice spoiler in the top line of the description. Thanks for that.
Even though he lost, Herbert showed some quality stuff.
Wonder what Rory's stroke score was if he was 5 under after 9.
that reminds me of a round I had the other day….
That was 11mins and 3 seconds of pure joy
McIlroy can play way more relaxed when the Tourney is like a LIV event with No Cut😂😂
mcelroy hitting and maintaining his stride! looking like #1 in the world. Cheers!!
Both played great…….Rory looking good 👍
Great highlights reel from the DP World Tour again. A variety of shots and carefully curated moments that show the ebb and flow of the game.
Herbert's caddy looks like a guy that knows how to party! Actually, he looks like Bugs Bunny when he went in disguise as a psychiatrist.
Herbert is a proper matchplayer, pure grit
When Rory putts like that it is going to be hard for anyone to beat him.
The putting here is just ridiculous.
Can't Wait for the masters its gonna be insane !!!!!!!
Rory in full flow will always be a great thing to see. But Herbert played so well too. Awesome stuff!
What a match that was…….Herbert done us Aussies proud against an inform Rory McIlroy. Congratulations to Rory on the win and well done Lucas Herbert on a great match 👏 👍
He has booked to Semi already after beat Xander S, this vid too late!!!
the DP World tour is officially a feeder tour to the PGA. Dont be surprised if the US hosts all the majors soon and takes over the rules.
Lucas did the best
Wish I could play on a quality course like that.
Damn it got TENSE those last few holes… Herbert will be regretting that layup for a while I think, but he holed some insane putts to stay in it, he should be proud.
I watched both matches today. How many times did the washed-up old guys in the booth say that Rory was "under pressure" or something similar? I know they are trying to maintain suspense, but weren't the other guys also under pressure. I don't think announcers give Rory nearly enough credit for his greatness. They salivate at the mere mention of Tiger, but seem to look for excuses to question Rory.
rory was one of us at 7:10 😅
More 370/380 yd drives….the ball distance issue is already out of control
