The LPGA Tour will be implementing a new format for this year’s T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas, Nev. Instead of group-based match play, the event will now feature a combination of stroke and match play to determine who will take home a share of a $2 million purse and 500 Race to the CME Globe points.
Here's a quick day-by-day breakdown of the format for the T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards:
Wednesday and Thursday
Stroke play with a cut after 36 holes to the top 65 and ties
Friday
Stroke play with a cut after 54 holes to the top-eight players; in the event of a tie for the last match-play spot(s), a hole-by-hole stroke-play playoff will be utilized to decide the final match-play spot(s)
- Match-Play Seeding: For ties within the top-eight, match-play seeding will be determined using the following criteria: lowest score from the third round, then lowest score from the second round, then lowest score from the first round and finally, Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking as of Monday, April 1.
- Seeding for players in a playoff for the final match-play spot(s) will be determined by those players’ scores on the playoff holes if the scores are different. If the playoff scores are the same, seeding will then be determined by the above criteria.
Saturday
Single-elimination match-play bracket; Quarterfinals in the morning and Semifinals in the afternoon
Sunday
Single-elimination match-play bracket; Championship Match
