Scottie Scheffler returns to Austin Country Club to defend his title at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. By doing so, he would become the first person since Tiger Woods in 2004 to do so. The event will see 64 players, split into 16 groups of four compete in a round-robin format. After this, the player with the most points advances to single elimination play. Eight out of nine of the top players in the world with Ryder Cup teammates Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy both teeing it up in Texas. The Spaniard has been grouped with Rickie Fowler who, despite not winning on tour in over four years could prove a formidable opponent, having made the cut in every PGA TOUR event in 2023. McIlroy won the event in 2015 in which was the last WGC Match Play before it moved from Harding Park, California to Austin, Texas. Other notable names to look out for include 2021 winner Billy Horschel, two-time winner Jason Day and World No. 9 Viktor Hovland.

The final tee shot 349 carry when the tour average is around 280!!! Not only is that an incredible stat but to be able to pull that shot off on the final hole where he needed to at worst tie the hole. The balance and poise to hold his follow through with so much club head speed ..... Fabulous.
That drive was so powerful and he's so well balanced. Unbelievable.

Thank you for bringing us Rory's drives. I really appreciate this
What a drive! Congratulations, Rory!
Absolutely smashed that drive on 18. Incredible mix of power, rhythm and balance. Amazing !
That shot will boost Rorys confidence for years to come. Brilliant.
How good is matchplay!
Amazing what he can do when he’s on his game👍
Grateful for A+ game displays next level coverage
Excellent golf and an excellent amount of coverage.
Best drive in any match play, well done Rory! 👍💪👏👏
Helluva drive !!! 👏👏👏
He is the one to beat, Rory is having his best season and may it continue!
The most impressive shot for me was that wedge into 15 under pressure from McCarthy. That’s the shot was ridiculous but the wedge was even better in my eyes
One of my favorite tournament of the year. I would love to play a round there one day, but I know it's unlikely. You can't just throw a bunch of cash to secure a round there.
That bomb on 18th was fantastic.
Class . Enjoy
Based on the highlights they showed, it was hard to tell if there actually was another player other than Rory in the match
Dang… new Scotty for Rory. Hopefully he can get into a groove with it at Augusta.
Wow Rory😮
Best drive of the history of the game is Dustin at Kapalua 🤤 and then there is Rory's drive 😳
Yes, the drive on 18 was amazing but how about the way he slipped that watch on and got it in shot during the interview. 😚👌
Imagine being so good at golf that you'd pick up a 6 foot eagle putt.

I honestly think Rory is the best of all time. Tiger was the greatest scrambler, but Rory seldom needs to hit out of massive trouble.
Taylormade's fitters deserve credit for getting McIroys driver woes sorted after him being so vocal about it. Doesn't seem like the Titleist putter served any better than the spider though
7:45 / 10:38 is insane
why are they not posting every match like this
That final tee shot is one of the single greatest golf shots of all time
If that shorter shaft on driver, (did he have Vokey wedges?) and Scotty Cameron Putter works i hope he gets his green jacket this year, he deserves it like no other players. I am big Tiger fan, but Rory has to get it this years he plays some amazing golf, had problems last 2 months but if he gets it together...this putter is working for him i think
Misleading title, should read “Rory highlights” Denny was in it to the end how can there have only been so few highlights.

What driver is he using ?
😍👍
Make the same shots in The Masters. 😊
Complaints on here from a few about the amount of Rory coverage overwhelming the vid....have to say that Rory one , so the winner usually gets the most coverage....and off you wanted to see more Denny, watch the feed of the whole match. Rory was the one hitting the bombs - one reason he got more coverage and the reason the golfing "powers" should heed they don't need to roll the ball back and lose a huge draw to the game.
Wish he putted for birdie on that long par 3.
Think he likes the driver now...
7:27 the only reason we're here
And they want to roll the ball back…let these elite players show what can be done!!
7:56 A pretty good lag putt from there... oh wait, that was a 370 yd drive?
Guess the new driver is working out...
Driver looks good to me… Stealth 2+?
That’s God given talent right there! Makes us hackers feel like crap though. LOL
I don’t understand the roll back of the ball. People want to see great drives like this. He’s just about the only one in the field that can do this. The guy who hits it 40 yards less than Rory….will still be the guy who hits it 40 yards less than Rory with the rollback.

You need to convert it to %. The shorter everyone hits, the smaller the difference between the long hitters and the short hitters it becomes in absolute numbers, not in %. At the same it, it will be more valuable to hit it further, so there won't be any changes to the advantages of hitting it far.

All about Rory, Terrible editing! Almost didn’t know it was match play, what happened on 17…. Did they both birdie or par?
OMG
Yea, you crazy sobs , roll the freaking ball back, Roey will win ever other tournament, and he know this!
Rory won this by the skin of his teeth (and driver), didnt make a single putt. Good thing Denny didnt either or else it wouldve been a pretty strong W by the underdog. Great playing by both tho all match.

Who tf is Denny McCarthy
His putter stroke won't last under pressure as he finishes too high off line. Until he finishes with the putter face 1/2 inch off the ground facing the target line on a consistent basis, he won't consistently win. He has the potential to string together many major wins. Whenever the putter face finishes high, means there was an element of off line deceleration. Whenever it finishes low & on line, that means he ROLLED the ball & imparted all the energy possible into the ball. You know it did when the end cap of the grip is directly over the putter head. Means the shaft was vertical at finish. At the height of Dave Stockton's career, he had 960 holes without a 3-putt (53 rounds of golf). He had a 3-putt on the last day against Arnold to win his second PGA championship at Southern Hills.
What a tee shot and the idiots controlling this sport want these magical moments to be stopped 😢 watching golf will be worse because of it.
Imagine if major league baseball allowed hot balls. The sport would also be ruined.
I don't know where they get these whitebread announcer guys. They sound like they're announcing a high school basketball game. "Rory has no landing area for this pitch...this one's going to run out Fer Sherr....wait, it actually is not going to run out. ". Maybe they can find some guys who actually have played the game.
