2010 WGC-Accenture World Match Play golf championship
The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club - Dove Mountain
Feb. 15-21
2010
Come February the eyes of golf will fall on Southern Arizona. The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain is the home of the World Golf Championships - Accenture Match Play Championship. The world's top 64 golfers will try to etch their names in the history book of this exciting tournament. Billed as the cornerstone of the World Golf Championships. The WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship is played over 5 days and 6 rounds, with play beginning on a Wednesday, and the final contested on the Sunday. All the matches are over 18 holes, with the exception of the final, which is played over 36 holes. The winner of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship pockets $1.35 million in prize money.
The course is a 27-hole expedition through dense desert-mountain foothills, with roomy landing areas, strategically placed fairway bunkers and a handful of forced carries. But the real fun comes on the greens, which deliver intricate interior contouring rather than the sharper-edged broad levels that Jack favored too many times in years past. The Match Play will be contested over the Saguaro and Tortolia nines.
The WGC Accenture Match Play Championship is part of the World Golf Championships series of tournaments. This event is played at match play, rather than stroke play, and begins with a field of 64 golfers. The players knock each other off until two remain for the 36-hole championship match. Past champions include Jeff Maggert, Darren Clarke, Steve Stricker,
Kevin Sutherland, 2007 winner Henrik Stenson, Tiger Woods won in 2008 and defending champion Geoff Ogilvy in 2009.

2009 WGC Accenture Results
 Geoff Ogilvy won the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship for the second time in four years with a 4-and-3 victory over Paul Casey of England to stake his claim Sunday as the best in the world at match play.
In a relentless performance at Dove Mountain, the 31-year-old Australian did not trail over the final 62 holes of the tournament and did not have a bogey on his card over the last 57 holes.
He took the lead with a 6-foot birdie on the first hole of a 36-hole title match, and never gave Casey a chance. Ogilvy had a 3-up lead after the morning round, then shot 31 on the front nine to pull away.
A tournament that began with so much buzz over the return of Tiger Woods ended with a newfound appreciation for the match-play prowess of Ogilvy, who ran his career record to 18-3 in this fickle format.
