Austin Country Club is a match play masterpiece. The par-71, 7,108-yard layout has a blend of risk and reward decision-making. Players are consistently tested by elevation changes, uneven lies and penalty areas. Its design puts a premium on accuracy, which is why Austin Country Club is such a great fit for this unique event. To win the Dell Match Play, you must keep the ball in play. Scottie Scheffler will try to defend his title at the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play event when he competes at Austin Country Club this week. Each four-golfer group will compete in a round-robin format over the first three days before the group winners advance to the knockout phase for the final two days of action. Scheffler is the favorite in the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play odds. He is expected to advance from a group that includes Tom Kim, Alex Noren and Davis Riley. The first WGC-Match Play tee times come at 10:20 a.m. ET on Wednesday. Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy are both expected to be 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies contenders this week. McIlroy is facing Keegan Bradley, Denny McCarthy and Scott Stallings in his group in the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies field.

 Picks 🔒

SDSU +8 | The Aztecs' defense is one of the best in the NCAA. San Diego State will want to slow the pace, as the Tide have an explosive offense led by Miller, Sears, and Quinerly. We'll still take Alabama to advance but the Aztecs will cover and take it down to the wire.

Miami +7 | The Hurricanes should be able to get theirs on the offensive end of the floor, but getting key stops on the defensive end is crucial to them. Miami keeps it competitive enough to stay within the number.
