WGC MATCH-PLAY GOING BACK TO THE ARIZONA DESERT IN 2012
MARANA, Arizona (AP) — The World Golf Championships' Match Play Championship is returning to Dove Mountain, Arizona in 2012 for the sixth straight year.
The US PGA Tour announced today that the early-season WGC event again will be played at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, where Luke Donald won last month over Martin Kaymer.
The contract with Dove Mountain is to expire after 2012, while Accenture's title sponsorship agreement goes through 2014.
The US PGA Tour also said that Gerald Goodman, a popular tournament director with players when he ran the tour event at Innisbrook near Tampa, Florida, would take over as executive director of the Match Play Championship.
The WGC Match Play has been at four courses since it began in 1999 - seven years at La Costa, one year in Australia, two years at The Gallery on Dove Mountain and the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.
Editor: Why not play it in Europe? Simple answer: Americans, in general, don't like playing outside the States.
