AUSTIN, Texas — It seemed a match made in heaven, a glitzy, emerging tech center, a golf course that sparkles along the Colorado River (under the picturesque Pennybacker Bridge) and all in a format that pits the best players in the world against each other in match play.
After moving the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play event to Texas’ capital in 2016, large crowds and Lone Star hospitality made the event one of the most popular on the PGA Tour.
But with word that the event will close up shop after the upcoming 2023 edition, we decided to take a walk down memory lane and look at the six winners who raised the Walter Hagen Trophy at Austin Country Club.
