The Tour heads to Louisiana this week for the Zurich Classic. This is back-to-back Pete Dye courses, the third in the past six weeks, so there’s some continuity around profiling the style of golfer that’s likely to find success this week. The major curveball to the week is that this is a team event.
Breaking up the regular season grind, this will be year five of The Zurich Classic as a team event. We’ll begin with 80 teams of two playing a best-ball round on Thursday, followed by a round of alternate shot play on Friday before the field is cut to 35 duos for the weekend. Cut makers will go back to best-ball on Saturday before the event finishes with a final round of alternate shot on Sunday.
