Today the LPGA gets a new match play event, the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play, which is structured just like the WGC-Dell Match Play. This short video featuring Amy Rogers gives you the basics in less than two minutes.
The Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas is probably best known to golf fans for hosting "The Match" (Tiger VS Phil) in 2018 and the 2020 CJ Cup after the pandemic forced a one-year relocation of the South Korean event. According to lpga.com the course is going to play as a par-72 just over 6800 yards.
Like the Dell Match Play, there will be 64 players in the field, divided into 16 groups of four. You can find out who's in which group at this golfchannel.com page, as well as their seeding.
As for matches to watch today, I like the Shanshan Feng VS Brittany Lincicome match (Group 14). The So Yeon Ryu VS Ryann O'Toole match (Group 11) also sounds like a fun match-up.
With the setup being the same as the Dell Match Play, that means GC's coverage begins TODAY (Wednesday) at 2pm ET. We've gone too long without a ladies' match play event. This is gonna be AWESOME!
