Unlike the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, each match played was a 36-hole match. At the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship the only 36-hole match played is the championship. Every other match is a 18-hole match. Ernie Els defeated Ángel Cabrera 6&4 in the final to win the tournament for the 7th time.

Famous quotes containing the words world, match and/or play:
“It was not that she was out of temper, but that the world was not equal to the demands of her fine organism.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“What have Massachusetts and the North sent a few sane representatives to Congress for, of late years?... All their speeches put together and boiled down ... do not match for manly directness and force, and for simple truth, the few casual remarks of crazy John Brown on the floor of the Harper’s Ferry engine-house,—that man whom you are about to hang, to send to the other world, though not to represent you there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Sometimes we sailed as gently and steadily as the clouds overhead, watching the receding shores and the motions of our sail; the play of its pulse so like our own lives, so thin and yet so full of life, so noiseless when it labored hardest, so noisy and impatient when least effective; now bending to some generous impulse of the breeze, and then fluttering and flapping with a kind of human suspense.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
