AUSTIN (KXAN) — The World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play will not return to Austin after this year.
Jordan Uppleger, the tournament’s executive director, made the announcement Monday morning.
KXAN Sports Director Roger Wallace was at the announcement, which came after speculation and a report from Golfweek that Match Play would lose its spot on the schedule as the PGA Tour makes changes to its 2024 schedule.

The Match Play Championship is set for its seventh tournament in Austin over the last eight years. It’ll be held March 22-26 at the Austin Country Club.
The tournament was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament brought in $1.2 million for Dell Children’s Medical Center and The First Tee of Austin.
