Anyone excited for WGC Match Play this week?

Draw came out this afternoon (should have been done in primetime, but oh well)

Lot of great reviews of TPC Harding Park, should be interesting to see how it plays. Paul Casey, Henley and Shane Lowry seem to be the trendy upset picks. Ryan Moore vs Patrick Reed is my under the radar favorite match

Golf is somewhat boring without Tiger involved....

Definitely looking forward to the change in format - though part of me does worry that come Friday there's the potential that the Round of 16 could already be decided. Sunday will be fun though for certain.

Yes, match play is fun to watch for a change. It will be interested to see Harding Park. Really looking forward to the Players and the famous island green.

Highly unlikely that too many will be able to clinch passage into the 16 by Thursday, unless you have a number of halved matches. The flip side is the tiebreaker possibilities if more than 2 guys tie in a pool. Could have a number of sudden death playoffs on Friday night.

I totally misunderstood the round robin - assumed it was a 54 hole match betwixt the 4somes rather than 3 head to head, that makes way more sense, and way more intriguing.

Yeah very unlikely to have the pool locked up as the 1 plays the 2 on Friday (round 3). Also, no halved matches

I live about 5 miles away from Harding Park. Keep debating on whether or not to go and check it out.

What's the point of Fowler (or anyone else in his group) playing Friday if he has already clinched a spot in the round of 16? Tomorrow's match means nothing. This is the part of the new format that makes no sense.
