Brackets

The championship is a single elimination match play event. The field consists of the top 64 players available from the Official World Golf Ranking as of the February 10 ranking, seeded according to the February 17 rankings.

Phil Mickelson (ranked 10 as of February 10) chose not to enter and was replaced by Shane Lowry (ranked 65 as of February 10). Brandt Snedeker (ranked 4) withdrew with a rib injury and was replaced by Freddie Jacobson (ranked 66 as of February 10). As of February 17, Lowry became the bottom seed (ranked 68).

Russell Henley was the only player competing in his first WGC event.

Weather delay

Snow forced the cancellation of play on Wednesday afternoon. None of the first round matches were completed and ten of the matches had not yet started when play was halted.

Overnight snow caused another delay on Thursday and play did not resume until 1pm local time. At the close of play, 2 of the 32 first round matches were still not completed: Carl Pettersson was 1up on Rickie Fowler after 17 holes while Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño and Francesco Molinari were all square after 15 holes. The revised schedule involves completing the second round on Friday with the third and fourth rounds on Saturday.

Bobby Jones bracket

Shane Lowry became the first 64th seed to reach the third round in the 15-year history of the championship. The three previous 64th seeds to defeat the number 1 seed have all lost in the second round.
