PGA Tour : Zurich Classic of New Orleans Tee Times
After all the pressure over the last fortnight on the PGA Tour, it's time for a nice relaxed, albeit highly competitive week of team play down in New Orleans at the Zurich Classic.
Format
80 teams of 2 will play off split tees on Thursday and Friday. They play Fourball on Thursday, Saturday and Foursomes on Friday, Sunday. The cut will be made for low 33 teams and ties on Friday night.
Weather
Hot (mid 80'sf), mainly sunny with no rain, light wind for all four days.
Last year Rory McIIroy and his pal Shane Lowry, after a few glasses of wine, decided to enter this match play event for some fun, they did and they won, their presence raised the profile of the only team event on the PGA Tour regular season.
They are back again, Rory has returned to Florida with wife and daughter Poppy from a week long family celebration back home in Northern Ireland.
Every pairing has its own story, the Hojgaard twins from Denmark, Stanford room mates now PGA Tour pros Michael Thorbjornsen and Karl Vilips, Frenchmen from DP WORLD Tour Mattieu Pavon and Victor Perez, just to mention a few.
