2012 Accenture Match Play Championship, Feb. 20-26
Here at Dove Mountain, the most elite players in the game make up the field of 64 who take on The Golden Bear's distinctive Saguaro and Tortolita nines, which Nicklaus designed to serve as a stage for world-class competition. The Accenture Match Play Championship is based on a simple premise: bring the best 64 golfers in the world together to compete in the highest prize-money tournament in the world, on the most beautiful and challenging course, with exciting head-to-head match play. Match play is the most traditional form of golf competition; rather than measuring total strokes, match play counts the number of holes won.
