2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Weather Forecast and Projections
We’re teeing off for the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play this week, which is a unique 5-day event. With it being Match Play and having condensed tee times, weather may be difficult to take advantage of. But I figured it wouldn’t hurt to get a forecast in regardless, especially since we have some windy and potentially wet timeframes.

As usual in my Golf weather forecasts, we’re focusing more on wind than rain. While rain can halt play if it’s heavy enough, it also helps to soften and slow the course, meaning it helps as much as it hurts. With wind there’s no helpful side, it’s all negative impact, and the impact can lead to dramatic differences in scoring. My goal is always to try and highlight the timeframe with the lightest winds, the time with the strongest winds, and to see if there’s a cumulative advantage for one wave over another. You can use then use this to your advantage making your picks on DFS sites and sportsbooks.

Breezy. We’ll see sustained winds around 15mph with gusts to 25mph. It should be a touch windier in the afternoon.

Downright windy. We’ll be around 15-20mph sustained most of the day, climbing to around 20-25mph sustained by the afternoon, which will bring gusts to 35mph. There’s also a low (but not “no”) chance of an afternoon storm.

Day 4 Weather Projection – Saturday, March 25th
Probably the best weather of the entire tournament. 5-10mph winds.

Winds should pick up a touch on Sunday, but mostly we’re talking 10+ mph with stronger gusts and a chance for some showers. All in all pretty decent weather.
Overall WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Weather Forecast
As I mentioned in the intro, when it comes to finding a usable and predictable edge for PGA, wind matters a lot more than rain. For this tournament, with the Match Play and condensed start times, it might be tough to find a usable edge. But I can say with fairly high confidence that, in general, Thursday brings the windiest weather, and Thursday afternoon will be worse than the morning (though neither timeframe is ideal). Stay tuned to @KevinRothWx for the latest.
