  Match play - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Women's professional golf had no event directly comparable to the Accenture Championship up until 2004, but one is to be introduced in 2005.
The U.S. Amateur Championships for both men and women are conducted with two rounds of stroke play to cut the field to 64, and then proceeds to a single-elimination match play tournament.

 HSBC World Match Play Championship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The HSBC World Match Play Championship is the current sponsored name of a matchplay golf tournament played each September at Wentworth Club near London.
The introduction in 1999 of the sixty four man WGC-Accenture World Matchplay Championship, which selected its field on the basis of the World Rankings, was a blow to the prestige of the older event, whose exhibitional aspects, with a small invited field, were emphasised by contrast.
World ranking points were allocated to the event, and the results were counted in the PGA European Tour money list - not however the actual prize money, which is far higher than for the other events on the tour, but scaled down amounts intended to be more proportionate.

THUNDERSTORMS and torrential rain flooded out the afternoon Pro-am at the HSBC Women's World Matchplay Championship at Hamilton Farm in New Jersey, but North Berwick's Catriona Matthew was hoping the wet conditions would give her an advantage in today's first round.
Glasgow's Janice Moodie, who formed a great foursomes partnership with Matthew at the last Solheim Cup, is the second Scot in the 64-strong field, and she opens against South Korea's Gloria Park.
She also has a great matchplay record - and is in the other half from Matthew so it could be an all-Scottish final.
