based on the Exemption
Criteria here. 32 players are formed into 8 groups of 4 to begin the championship. Each player plays 3 rounds of match play against players in a group of 4, called Group Play. The winner of each match will receive 1 point. Tied matches after 18 holes results in each player receiving 0.5 points. In the event of a tie in the group after three rounds, the tied players will have a sudden death stroke play play-off to see who wins the group. The 8 players with the most points from each group after 3 rounds will advance to the final 8 Championship Bracket, called Bracket Play. The 8 group winners will be seeded into a traditional 8-player bracket based on the group number they won, not based on their original seeds. |
