The 2014 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship was the 16th WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, held February 19–23 at The Golf Club at Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona, northwest of Tucson. It was the first of four World Golf Championships in 2014. With a field of 64 competitors, the five-day six-round event began on Wednesday, with the semifinals and finals on Sunday. Jason Day won his first WGC title at the 23rd hole of the final match with Victor Dubuisson.[2][3][4]
This was the eighth and final edition of the championship contested in Marana, the host since 2007. The tournament moved back to California in 2015, held in early May at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, and went to Austin, Texas, in March 2016.
This was also the final edition in which the entire tournament was single-elimination, as the first two rounds were replaced by round-robin play in 2015, with sixteen players advancing to the knock-out bracket on the weekend.
