2022 WGC-Dell Match Play Bracket Breakdown and Picks
Group Five- Scottie Scheffler, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Ian Poulter
Pick: Scottie Scheffler
This may sneakily be one of the tougher groups in this year’s WGC-Dell Match Play. Scheffler was disappointed not to have won an event he felt he should have won last year. Don’t overcomplicate this and take Scheffler to progress.
Group Six- Justin Thomas, Kevin Kisner, Marc Leishman, Luke List
Pick: Justin Thomas
It’s another early exit for 2018 winner Kevin Kisner as Justin Thomas exacts a bit of revenge on Kisner for last year’s defeat and it is he who moves on in 2022.
Group Seven- Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau, Lucas Herbert, Takumi Kanaya
Pick: Tony Finau
Xander Schauffele is the logical pick to win this group but weird things happen at the WGC-Dell Match Play. Finau finds some form this week that is reminiscent of his 2018 Ryder Cup performance when he went 2-1 and upended Tommy Fleetwood. Finau moves on.
Group Eight- Dustin Johnson, Max Homa, Matthew Wolff, Mackenzie Hughes
Pick: Dustin Johnson
Max Homa comes close to pulling off a Robert MacIntyre from last year in knocking off Dustin Johnson, but he comes up just short this time. DJ is finding form at the moment and the 2016 WGC-Dell Match Play Champion takes care of this group.
