(Reuters) - A revamped WGC-Match Play Championship will take a leaf out of the World Cup football tournament in Brazil when it is staged for the first time at the TPC Harding Park in San Francisco next year.

Apart from a change of venue, organisers hope that a "World Cup-type format" will breath new life into the first of the season's four elite World Golf Championships (WGC) events where so often in the past the top players have made early exits.
