2002 Winner—Kevin Sutherland
La Costa Resort and Spa, Carlsbad, California, U.S.
The unpredictable nature of match play added significantly to the drama of the 2002 Accenture Match Play Championship. The Championship winner, Kevin Sutherland, had to get past 2001 British Open Championship, David Duval, 2001 PGA Champion, David Toms, and three other top-ranked players, including Ryder Cup member Jim Furyk, before defeating high school rival Scott McCarron in the 36-hole championship match.
