A new format was introduced in 2015, and the championship now starts with pool play, with 16 groups of four players playing round - robin matches, on Wednesday through Friday. The top 16 seeded players are allocated to the 16 groups, one in each group. The remaining 48 players are placed into three pools ( seeds 17 -- 32, seeds 33 -- 48, seeds 49 -- 64 ). Each group has one player randomly selected from each pool to complete the group. All group play matches are limited to 18 holes with one point awarded for a win and one - half point for a halved match. Ties for first place in a group are broken by a sudden - death stroke play playoff, beginning on hole 1. The winners of each group advance to a single - elimination bracket on the weekend, with the round of 16 and quarterfinals on Saturday, and the semi-finals, finals, and consolation match on Sunday.
