2023 WGC-Dell Match Play Best Bets
Scottie Scheffler, the current world No. 1 and defending PLAYERS champion, will compete this week in the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play alongside other top PGA Tour players. Scheffler claimed the world’s top position with his PLAYERS triumphs two weeks ago after winning the Phoenix Open for the second consecutive year in February.
The 2023 WGC-Match Play field, which consists of 64 of the best PGA Tour golfers, will begin play on Wednesday at the Austin Country Club. Eight of the top nine golfers in the world, including top-five players Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, are scheduled to compete.

Outright Betting Pick: Collin Morikawa (+2800)
The World No. 11 recently finished 13th at THE PLAYERS Championship, as Morikawa’s irons were back to the best levels he has seen this season. The 25-year-old had his best iron week since winning the WGC Workday Tournament with a gain of 9.4 strokes on the approach at TPC Sawgrass. It’s encouraging to see that Morikawa has his best tool back. In six starts this year, he has already finished in the top three on three separate occasions.
At this price, I think there’s plenty of value on Morikawa to go low here at Austin Country Club.
Other picks:
Min Woo Lee (Top-4 +1400 [0.5u])
The two shots I am taking on non-top seeds are on red-hot golfers who stand up well against the rest of their groups. Australian Min Woo Lee is on the precipice of earning his PGA Tour membership and is grouped with Sahith Theegala and JJ Spaun. The top seed in Group 11 is Matt Fitzpatrick, who has scuffled of late and is winless in Ryder Cup play. Like Hatton, he will need to traverse a few tough outs if he advances.
Kurt Kitayama (Top-4 +1600 [0.5u])
Our golden boy from Chico, California, is exactly the type of player who can emerge at the WGC-Dell Match Play and take down the big boys along the way. Sound familiar? It’s exactly what he did a few weeks ago at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Kurt Kitayama is a bomber who can make a ton of birdies. He clearly has the intestinal fortitude to score under pressure, which is a huge advantage in match play. His main adversary in Group 10 is Tony Finau. Adrian Meronk and Christiaan Bezuidenhout are fine too, but not overly threatening. The upper right quadrant is also home to Jon Rahm. It stands to reason that Kitayama would need a couple of breaks in the form of group upsets to advance, but he has the chops to take advantage.
