T-Mobile Match Play

T-Mobile Match Play (previously known as the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play) is an LPGA golf tournament held in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Shadow Creek Golf Course par 72 golf course. It is a relatively new tournament, having started up in 2021, bringing the excitement offered by the direct head-to-head competition of match-play golf back to the LPGA for the first time since the demise of the Lorena Ochoa Invitational after 2017. Like PGA tournaments, most LPGA tournaments are contested through stroke play golf, where players aim for the lowest score possible (cumulative over 3-4 rounds). Match play resembles many other sports in that each golfer faces off against a single opponent, with the golfer who wins the most holes in a round winning the match and progressing to the next round. The 2024 tournament was won by Nelly Korda (USA), who defeated Leona Maguire (IRL) to take the title. Best of all, the whole thing is held in Las Vegas, meaning that your days at the golf can be followed by nights of all sorts of entertainment.

T-Mobile Match Play Tournament

The T-Mobile Match Play tournament was launched in 2021 in an effort to bring back the intriguing head-to-head battles to the LPGA that only match-play golf can offer. The LPGA tour had been completely without match-play golf since 2017, with the end of the Lorena Ochoa Invitational. The T-Mobile Match Play tournament has been through several iterations in its first four years, adjusting its format to both include match-play golf and maximize the number of high-profile players competing.

T-Mobile Match Play Format

The 2024 T-Mobile Match Play tournament format saw some changes to the previous format in order to increase participation while allowing for dramatic and exciting match-play golf. One of the problems with match-play golf is that because of its head-to-head, single-elimination nature (sort of like a “knockout round” in the World Cup), it is quite time-consuming due to the number of rounds required to knock everybody out! The decision was thus made for the 2024 edition of T-Mobile Match Play, to begin with two rounds of stroke play golf on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by a substantial cut (96 players to 65 plus tied scorers). Friday is another stroke play round, from which the top 8 golfers (i.e., the eight golfers with the lowest scores) continue into the match-play rounds of Saturday and Sunday. These match-play rounds consist of quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday (a lot of golf!), followed by a two-player, winner-takes-all final showdown on Sunday!

Due to the success of the 2024 T-Mobile Match Play tournament format, it seems unlikely that significant changes will be made to the 2025 edition of the tournament. Keep checking TicketX for updates.

T-Mobile Match Play Golf

T-Mobile Match Play offers golf fans the chance to experience the contrasting styles of professional golf in both main competition formats, all in a single tournament. Wednesday to Friday bring a whirlwind stroke play flurry of close to 100 players doing their best to record the lowest score possible to progress to the match-play round (and avoid the dreaded cut). It can be quite fascinating for golf fans to see how different players deal with the different demands of stroke play and match play, as some feel intimidated or distracted by the fairly unusual experience of playing alongside a direct competitor in match play, while others find it motivating and refreshing.

T-Mobile Match Play Leaderboard

If you attend the 2025 T-Mobile Match Play tournament, you will find plenty of highly visible leaderboards (generally electronic) notifying fans and players of up-to-the-minute player scores. The T-Mobile Match Play tournament leaderboard can also be accessed online or via the LPGA Now app during the tournament, as well as many other online sports platforms.

How Does a Player Win the T-Mobile Match Play Tournament?

A player needs to survive the cut on Thursday and then be one of the top 8 golfers on Friday to progress to the weekend’s match-play rounds. It’s all single elimination from there on in, with a quarterfinal and semifinal on Saturday followed by a two-golfer final on Sunday to determine the T-Mobile Match Play champion. In the end, the winner and runner-up will have played six rounds in four days. That’s a lot of golf!

Is Watching Live Golf Exciting? Is Watching Live Golf Fun?

Watching live golf is quite different from going to other live sports in that it is a sport that takes days rather than hours and involves individuals taking their time rather than teams racing around at breakneck pace before the clock runs out. Many golf fans love the relaxed atmosphere around the sport, with many venues allowing fans to move freely around the edges of the course (within designated fan areas) to follow their favorite players through different stages of the course. Make no mistake though, there is no tension in the world like a golfer trying to sink a putt to win a four-day major tournament on the 18th hole in front of hundreds or even thousands of fans.
