2011 World Cup Final Full Match Download In Hd

TheWorld Match Play Championship was a limited field event, originally contested by just eight players before being expanded to sixteen in 1977, and to 24 in 2011. In 2004 it became an official tournament on the European Tour for the first time, having previously been a designated "approved special event". The event was traditionally played in the autumn, usually in October, but moved to a May date in 2011. Previous sponsors have included Piccadilly, Suntory, Toyota, Cisco, HSBC and Volvo.

The Wentworth Club near London was host venue for the World Match Play for the first 45 years. From 2009 to 2012 the event was played at the Finca Cortesn Golf Club in Casares near Mlaga, Spain. In 2013, the event was held at the Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort in Kavarna, Bulgaria, and in 2014, it was held at the London Golf Club in Kent, England.

The tournament was founded by sports agent Mark McCormack as a showcase for the players he managed. The inaugural event in 1964 was won by Arnold Palmer, who was McCormack's first client. The calibre of the winners has consistently been very high, with the majority of the tournaments being won by players who have been ranked in the top two in the Official World Golf Ranking or its predecessor Mark McCormack's world golf rankings.

The event consisted of 36-hole matches played in a single day. The event had an eight-man field from 1964 to 1976. It expanded to 16 players for 1977 and 1978. In 1979, the field was 12 players, with four seeded players being given a bye in the first round. It was sometimes felt that this was unfair, as an unseeded player needed to string together eight successful rounds in four days to win, twice as many as in a stroke play tournament, whereas a seeded player only needed six successful rounds to win.

For its first 40 years the tournament was an unofficial one, highly regarded by golf fans in Britain and many other countries outside the United States, popular with players, and happily coexisting with the European Tour, at whose home course it was played, but not taken into account on an official tour money list. The introduction in 1999 of the 64-man WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, which selected its field on the basis of the World Rankings, was a blow to the prestige of the older event, whose exhibition aspects, with a small invited field, were emphasised by contrast.

In 2003, the tournament was given a major overhaul. Greatly increased sponsorship was secured from the largest British based bank, HSBC, and the winner's prize was increased to 1 million, which was then easily the largest in world golf (although the Nedbank Golf Challenge had had a $2 million first prize from 2000 to 2002).

In 2004, the championship became an official money European Tour event - not, however, the actual prize money, as the first prize was far higher than for the other events on the tour, but scaled-down amounts intended to be more proportionate. The field was increased to 16 players, all of whom needed to play eight rounds of golf to win, to eliminate the advantage previously given to seeds. A qualifying system, based primarily on performances in the four majors, replaced the invitations of the past. World ranking points were allocated to the event for the first time since 1999.[1]

In recent years, Americans have tended to decline their invitations. In 2005, no Americans took part at all, and with stalwart Ernie Els injured and Vijay Singh and Sergio Garca also absent, the field was one of the weakest seen at the event, with just one player from the world top ten. The 2006 event had a considerably stronger field with six of the world's top ten players headed by the world's top two ranked players Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk. But in January 2007 HSBC activated a break clause in its ten-year contract and withdrew from sponsorship after the 2007 event.[2]

In 2013, the event was held in Bulgaria, becoming the first European Tour event in Bulgaria, as Volvo had requested that the championship be moved to geographical areas of interest for the company and therefore the event will be rotated around Europe.[4] In 2014, the event was played in October at London Golf Club in Kent, England. Prior to the tournament Volvo announced they were withdrawing their support as they reduced their sponsorship commitments on the European Tour.[5]

The World Match Racing Tour (or WMRT) is, since 2000, an annual series of professional sailing match race events held in multiple countries.[1] Since 2006, the winner of the WMRT series has been named the Match Racing World Champion.[2]

Throughout the course of the Tour, participating teams compete in various boats, with each event featuring identical boat models. Teams regularly switch boats during the competition, emphasizing the importance of the sailors' skill and strategic abilities.[3]

The World Match Racing Tour in its current format started in the year 2000. However, many of its regattas started earlier, for example, the King Edward VII Gold Cup (now known as the Argo Group Gold Cup) in 1937 with American Briggs Cunningham as the first winner.[4]

In 1997, Russell Coutts and his Team Magic won the Faberg Egg and the US$250,000 prize money. Brut left as a sponsor after that, leaving the match racing series in a state of limbo. Swedish Match took over as sponsor of the match racing series in 1998 and the creation of the Swedish Match Grand Prix Sailing began.[5]

In 2015, the tour adopted a new format where competitions were grouped into two categories: World Championship events giving more points and World Tour events giving less points in the tour standings.[1] For the 2016 tour, M32 became the equipment used.[6]

In July 2015, Swedish company Aston Harald AB acquired the ISAF sanctioned World Match Racing Tour. The acquisition marks a major step forward for the World Match Racing Tour with the introduction of the one-design M32 high-performance catamarans.

Each stage or World Championship Event now takes place in identically supplied one-design M32 high-performance catamarans to place the focus on teamwork and skill. The nature of sport with close to shore action, intense tactical skills and live analysis offers host cities an excellent opportunity to present themselves positively to a global audience.

World Match Racing Tour works alongside media partner, IMG, a global sports and entertainment agency, to distribute highlights coverage reaching over 20 key markets via international broadcasters and digital media platforms worldwide.

That is because people build mental models or theories of how a system works based on their past experiences with real-world objects. Therefore, when users transition from the physical world to the digital world, they carry those interpretations with them. Users expect that UI elements which reflect material objects be similar to those objects from the real world. For example, a compass app on the iPhone functions much like an actual compass does in real life. Though the use of flat design and minimalism are now preferred over skeuomorphic design, including familiar elements and activities in the interface will help users move through the experience with ease.

The second heuristic applies not only to words and objects but also to how a digital experience makes users feel and their expectations for a process. For example, sending a text message feels like passing a note, viewing photos on Facebook feels like turning the pages in a photo album, choosing a movie to watch on Netflix feels like scanning the shelves of a video store, and highlighting passages on Medium feels much like using a brightly colored marker to select important text in a book. Familiarity is what makes these experiences enjoyable.

Upholding the second usability heuristic in writing, visual, and interaction design demonstrates that the site knows its users and cares about them. It shows empathy and acknowledges them as important. In an age where users read less and less but are inundated with more and more online options, prioritizing and applying the second usability heuristic is a dependable way to differentiate while staying relevant, building trust, and instilling feelings of familiarity, which will lead to loyal users.

The inaugural winner of the World Match Play Championship at Wentworth in 1964 was the legendary Arnold Palmer. A visionary lawyer, Mr. Mark McCormack, decided to start a match play event with only the top 8 players in the world. Palmer and Gary Player were to dominate the first five years of the Championship with Palmer winning twice and Player three times. The early 1980s were dominated by Greg Norman and Seve Ballesteros who won the title three and four times respectively between 1980 and 1986. The tournament was played as a regular match play event where 32 players started on day one, playing 36 holes each day until the final 2 players disputed the final on Sunday.
