2023 WGC Dell Match Play tournament will be the last

Officials of the WGC Dell Match Play tournament announce this year's event will be the last.

AUSTIN, Texas - The World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play will not return to Austin after this year.

Jordan Uppleger, the tournament’s executive director, made the announcement Monday morning.

"It was determined that a 64 player event didn’t fit the confines of the schedule," Uppleger said. "There’s really not another reason than that. I think it’s a special week for our players. I’m sure they’re going to miss a lot of the components to that. It may not fit in (next year's) schedules, but we’re definitely going to be looking back at Austin, Texas and figuring out a way to come back."

The tournament has been played at the Austin Country Club seven times in the last eight years. The 2020 event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year's tournament will be held March 22-26.
