It’s 64 players, just like the NCAA's 64 teams. But no wildcards. It’s golf, so the ball is smaller and so is the basket.  Instead of 60 minutes and OTs, it’s 18 holes and OTs, at least for the first five rounds. 

Instead of two-three weeks, it’s compressed into one.  Instead of national college rivalries, it’s world rivalries.  Instead of March Madness, it's February Foolishness or Late Winter Lunacy.  Whatever you want to call it, it's Golf's Bracket Blaster, a game where no matter who you pick, you're going to be wrong a few times.

The top four seeds head each of four brackets.  But all four brackets are packed with quality challengers, those who would trip up the top players on their way to the winner’s circle.

First, Tiger Woods gets Thomas Bjorn, a guy who beat him while wearing red.  Three years ago, it would have been Woods, no contest.  But this year, since Bjorn just won, it could be a close call.  Still it’s match play, so look for Woods to eke out a victory.  He can lose eight holes, and tie one and still win.  A tie after 18 holes goes to sudden death. Woods has played well enough recently to handle Bjorn although some feel he will lose this one.  Woods should be good for at least the first two rounds, so watch early.    

Phil Mickelson drew Brendan Jones of Australia.  While Mickelson was not at the top of his game at Riviera,  he’s a great match player. Look for him to cruise to round two.  The only thing stopping him is the schedule.  He’s played several more in a row than he usually does, so fatigue will be a factor eventually.

Lee Westwood is pitted against Henrik Stenson.  Westwood fears no one at this point, and although Stenson can be formidable, he has not been recently.  Westwood wins this one hands down. Article Source: Bleacher Report - Golf
