No stop on the PGA Tour packs more flavor than the Zurich Classic.
Avendale law with fried oysters and crawfish served on the driving range and gumbo simmering in Hospitality areas no stop on the PGA tour packs more flavor than the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana the first shots of this year’s tournament will be hit on Thursday the same day as the start of New Orleans JazzFest and with the weather forecast calling for sunshine and warm temperatures too last through the wiek the whole Bou is primed for another party with its blend of Creole cjun Spanish and West African influences New Orleans is one of America’s unique cities so it is fitting that this tournament has been unique on the PGA tour schedule for the last 7 years starting in 2014 the Zurich has been the PGA tour’s only Twan team event highlighting the field this year is an Irish Duo Ridder cup Stars Rory maoy and Shane Lowry along with the defending Champions Davis Riley and Nick Hardy and the 2022 winners American Ridder cup standouts Xander schaul and Patrick kley we started as a team at the President’s Cup in Australia in 2019 kley said after playing some practice holes with chafful on Tuesday afternoon Fred Couples and Tiger Woods put us together they thought that with both of us being from California and being a similar age that would make a good pairing we had a great time that week and won some pivotal matches instead of the typical 72 hole stroke play format used at nearly all PGA Tour events the Zurich Classic features 18 holes of four ball commonly referred to asbest ball in the first and third rounds with each golfer playing his ball and the lowest score counting for that hole in the second and fourth rounds the former mat changes to 18 holes of forom which is often referred to as alternate shot in those rounds players will take turns hitting the same ball which invariably ratchets up the pressure because no one wants to hit a bad shot and leave his partner in a tough spot standing in the shade behind the 18th hole’s Grand stands Tuesday chaul could not remember an instance of CLE putting him in a bad spot during alternate shot however he remarked that kly had bailed him out several times after chafful felt he hit a less than great shot
