Field edit

The following players made up the field, which consisted of the top 64 players available from the Official World Golf Ranking on March 15.[2] They are listed with their world ranking as of March 15 in parentheses; seedings were determined by their world ranking as of March 22.[3]

Format edit

The 64 players were placed into four seeded pools, the 16 highest ranked players as of March 22 in Pool A, the next 16 in Pool B, etc. The top seeds (Pool A) were placed into 16 groups in order, with the groups completed by means of a random draw of one player from each of the remaining pools.[2]

Each group was decided by a round-robin match play matches played on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with one point awarded for a win and half a point for a tie. The sixteen group winners advanced to the knockout stage. If two or more players were tied on points at the end of the group stage, there was a sudden death stroke play playoff between the tied players to determine the winner of the group.[2]

The round of sixteen were played on Saturday morning, with the quarterfinals on Saturday afternoon. The semifinals were played on Sunday morning, and the final and third place playoff were played on Sunday afternoon. In total, the winner played seven rounds of golf.[2]
