2022 WGC Dell Technologies Match Play rankings: Top 10 expert picks
1. Scottie Scheffler: The hottest player in the world got to the final here last year, and he's since won two big tournaments in rapid succession.
2. Sam Burns: Burns has three wins in the last 12 months, including two at the Valspar Championship.
3. Justin Thomas: JT keeps finishing in the top 10, even when he has a Sunday that just isn't quite good enough. One of these days, not too long from now, he'll finish off a win.
4. Patrick Cantlay: Cantlay clearly doesn't like TPC Sawgrass, but that doesn't mean he can't be a great match-play contestant this week.
5. Collin Morikawa: Great ballstrikers are hard to beat in match play because they apply so much pressure, but his poor putting is a drawback.
6. Billy Horschel: The defending champion has been playing great golf this year, and his mindset has to be annoying for an opponent.
7. Viktor Hovland: If this weren't a match-play event, I'd range Hovland higher, but his short-game struggles make him tough to back in 1 v. 1 situations.
8. Jon Rahm: Rahm just has not put it all together much this year, but his B-game is still extremely good.
9. Daniel Berger: Berger is so often overlooked, but his strokes-gained numbers since the return from the Covid lockdown are top notch.
10. Sergio Garcia: You have to be wondering why I'd put Sergio in the top 10, but he's a local, likes this course and plays well in this event.
