The US PGA Tour goes in two separate ways this week, with the big name players in Arizona to play the Accenture Match Play (the second part of the tour heads south of the border to play in Mexico; tomorrow I will post an entry for the picks of the Mayakoba Classic).
Let's look at the Golf CLi and see who the top 15 players are for the tournament ranked by the CLi figure.

As the CLi figures show, there is no player that is a for sure pick to play well....not even Tiger Woods, as all of the CLi figures are above 10. That is the case with most match play events. A player can beat the best player in the world on any given day once. It is a lot harder to beat the world's best in stroke play over 4 days as the world's best will rise to the top more often when given more chances.
So this week, I am going to go with a random crap shoot shot of the top 15 in the CLi figures....with some of my knowledge of the players no less. Hopefully that knowledge will be worth more than the peanuts I am eating.
So the Tour Outsider picks for the Accenture Match Play:

The Tour Insider's (Dave Shedloski) picks are:
- 1 Phil Mickelson
- 2 Tiger Woods
- 3 Ernie Els
- 4 David Toms
- 5 Luke Donald
This week we have one player in common: Woods.
I like Scott as well
