• Sweden's Henrik Stenson, Australia's Geoff Ogilvy, South Africa's Trevor Immelman and the USA's Chad Campbell comprised this year's Final Four. It was only the second time that each of the four semifinalists was from a different country. In 2001, it was Ernie Els (South Africa), Pierre Fulke (Sweden), Toru Taniguchi (Japan) and Steve Stricker (USA).

• Geoff Ogilvy won his 11th consecutive match at the Accenture Match Play Championship, beating Chad Campbell (3 & 2) to advance to the championship match for the second straight year. Ogilvy and Tiger Woods (2003-2004) are the only golfers to make the final match in consecutive years in this event.
