- Poulter (3) vs Cink (14) - Battle of the former and current Twitter champion on tour.
- Oosthuizen (5) vs. Van Pelt (12) - A couple of talented young ballstrikers. Watch for Van Pelt to have a breakout year this year.
- Westwood (1) vs. Stenson (16) - Henrik may be as good a #16 as there has ever been in this event. Look for this one to go down to the wire, with gin-breath edging the herring-head.
- Watney (8) vs. Kim (9) - I hope AK is healthy. Watney regressed a bit last year, but the talent is there.
- Woods (1) vs. Bjorn (16) - It's Tiger. Of course we have to watch.
- Watson (5) vs. Haas (12) - Talk about contrasting styles of play. Who will win, the tortoise or the hare?
- Ogilvy (8) vs. Harrington (9) - The only battle between former major winners. Geoff is playing better right now. The verdict is still out as to whether Paddy will recover from his tinkering.
I read about golf, and write about golf, and watch golf, and play golf. Also look for me (a.k.a. 4Checker) on www.thegolfspace.com.

Interesting pairings
Other than the majors and a few other tournaments, this week's event is one of my absolute favorites of the PGA Tour season. I play a lot of Match Play in my personal outings, and this particular format is such a big part of the game's history as well.
Here are some of the pairings I will keep a particularly close eye on as things get underway:
