Podcast – WGC Dell Match Play Betting Preview

EPA/ERIK S. LESSER

It’s match play this week on the PGA Tour which means different betting opportunities for punters. Luckily Wade Pretorius has done his research and has some great advice ahead of the tournament. There are star-studded groups for the 2022 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play with play scheduled to begin on Wednesday at Austin Country Club.

The 64-man field is divided into 16 four-man pools. Players face each member of their pool once, with the player with the best record advancing to single-elimination rounds starting Saturday. Ties in pool play will be broken by sudden-death playoffs. Two rounds apiece will be played Saturday and Sunday to crown a champion.
