2017 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play: Records for all 64 players
This week, sixty four of the best players in the world will tee it up at Austin Country Club in Texas for the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. As I do every year, I’ve created a table looking at the match play records for each player in the field, with each player name being clickable and taking you to the full details of each match. It is sorted by winning percentage, with the following tournaments being covered:
- WGC-Match Play (1999-2016): This shows their record at all previous courses to host the event, dating back to 1999.
- Presidents Cup: Singles records only from the Presidents Cup.
- Ryder Cup: Singles records only from the Ryder Cup.
- Other: The Cisco/Volvo World Match Play on the European Tour, as well as the Paul Lawrie Match Play, Seve Trophy, Royal Trophy and Eurasia Cup. Again, singles records only. Note that this doesn’t include the 1994, 1995 or 1996 Cisco Match Play, which were all won by Ernie Els. There just isn’t enough reliable data available online to include the information, but if anyone has access to it, let me know and I’ll add them in.
Note that Henrik Stenson, Adam Scott, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose and Adam Hadwin all qualified for the event, but will not be playing for a variety of reasons. Their full records, minus Hadwin since he has never played in professional match play, can be accessed by clicking on their names as well.
One last note: in addition to looking at the winning percentage, it’s obviously important to look at the total number of matches played as well, and the quality of competition. For example, Rory having won 67% of his forty two matches across all competitions is far more impressive than Joost Luiten having won 67% in his twelve matches, most of which haven’t come at the WGC.
