How to watch the Zurich Classic from New Orleans
The past two weeks have seen major tournaments with star-studded fields, first at the Masters, then at the RBC Heritage, the PGA Tour’s Signature Event. This week, the Tour dials down the intensity a bit in the only team tournament of the season at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans.
A lot of teams with two players will win four rounds. Thursday’s opening round and Saturday’s third round will be in a four-ball format, with each player playing their own ball and counting the lowest scores between them. Foursomes, or another shot, will be the format for the second and final rounds on Friday and Sunday.
Although the atmosphere is more laid back than a traditional event, the prize money is very real. The total purse for the Zurich Classic is $9.5 million, with each winning player taking home more than $1.3 million. That makes it a great opportunity for young professionals to earn a big payday and some valuable FedEx Cup points. Prizes also include two-year Tour exemptions and spots in the PGA Championship and Signature Events.
But the top two teams carry heavy weight. World No. 3 Matt Fitzpatrick, winner of last week’s RBC Heritage, teams up with his brother, DP World Tour winner Alex Fitzpatrick. Betting preferences. In another successful team, Brooks Koepka battles Shane Lowry.
