The 2012 WGC-Accenture Match Play championship will kick off on Wednesday morning in Marana, Arizona. The knockout tournament will be held at the Ritz-Carlton Gold Club at Dove Mountain. The event is certainly not lacking star power, as all 64 participating golfers are the top-ranked in the world. Only No. 11 Phil Mickelson and No. 23 Paul Casey will be absent.
