ABOUT THE Wisconsin Match Play
When the Wisconsin State Amateur was changed to
stroke play in 1971, there was a need for the
addition of a State Match Play Championship. The
WSGA returned this event to the tournament
schedule in 1975. The format has evolved into a PGA
Tour "pod"-style, with
group play followed by single elimination match play.
The top seed for each
of the 16 four-player groups will be filled by the top
16 players in the field
by the order of their position in the previous year's
WSGA Amateur Player of
the Year Rankings. Subsequently, the remaining
three players in each group
will be determined by a blind draw of those who
advanced through pre-
qualifying. Each four-player group will compete in
round-robin matches
amongst one another on Monday and Tuesday. Each
player will be
guaranteed three matches in Round Robin play. The
player with the best
record in each group advances to the Round of 16
(Knockout Rounds) for
single-elimination match play. To be eligible,
players must have a WSGA Handicap Index of 9.4 or
less.
