Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson join field at 2020 Dell Technologies Match Play

AUSTIN, Texas – For the first time in four years, Rickie Fowler will return to Austin for the 2020 World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play March 25-29 at Austin Country Club, tournament officials announced Tuesday. 44-time PGA TOUR winner Phil Mickelson has also added his name to the mix when 64 of the world’s best descend upon Austin for the only individual match-play event on the PGA TOUR schedule.

Fowler, a five-time PGA TOUR winner, remains in search of his first World Golf Championships victory. Fowler has made six prior starts at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, with a T3 finish in 2014 as his best effort. In only six starts this season on TOUR, the 2015 PLAYERS Championship winner has two top-10s including a season-best T5 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Mickelson, who has three World Golf Championships victories to his credit, has never won the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play but has posted victories at the 2009 WGC-Mexico Championship, 2009 WGC-HSBC Champions and 2018 WGC-Mexico Championship. Mickelson does have seven top-10s in 17 appearances at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play though and finished T5 in 2017 with a loss in the quarterfinals. The 49-year-old has one top-10, a solo third at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, in nine starts this season and narrowly remains inside the top 64 at No. 63 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

World No. 7 Webb Simpson and World No. 10 Tommy Fleetwood have also committed for this year’s event. With Simpson and Fleetwood in the field, eight of the top 10 in the Official World Golf Rankings have already added their name to the commitment list with Simpson (No. 7) and Fleetwood (No. 10) joining World No. 1 Rory McIlroy, No. 2 Jon Rahm, No. 3 Brooks Koepka, No. 5 Dustin Johnson, No. 8 Patrick Reed and No. 9 Adam Scott as early notables to commit to this year’s event.
