Match fixing is when the outcome of a match in organized sports has been manipulated. The reason for fixing a match includes ensuring a certain team advances or gambling. Match fixing is seen as one of the biggest problems in organized sports and is considered as a major scandal. This article is a list of match fixing incidents and of matches that are widely suspected of having been fixed.
The illusion of, but not legally match fixing, occurred in December 1959 when Sam Snead had legitimately lost to Mason Rudolph on the NBC show World Championship Golf because of an error on Snead's part. At the 12th hole with the match tied, Snead discovered that he was carrying 15 clubs in his bag in violation of Rule 3 with the 14 club limit.
