2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans tee times, TV coverage, viewer’s guide – Australian Golf Digest

The lone team event on the PGA Tour, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, is back this week, which is nice because it’s been a while since anyone besides Scottie Scheffler got to win a tournament. And given that Scheffler is taking the week off ahead of the arrival of his first child, this week we’ll see two “new” pros emerging victorious.

Mind you, Davis Riley and Nick Hardy are trying to make sure the Zurich title remains in their possession after claiming it a year ago. But challenging the duo at TPC Louisiana will be five of the top 15 players in the world. Most notably, for the first time, Rory McIlroy will stop by the Big Easy to try to win this pairs tournament. He’ll be joined by renowned Irish golfer Shane Lowry, as the two made plans to team up after the Ryder Cup last fall. Other highly-ranked teams include Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele (winners in 2022), Collin Morikawa and Kurt Kitayama, Sahith Theegala and Will Zalatoris and Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin.

Also competing this week are three sets of brothers, and two sets of twins, which has to be some sort of record: Rasmus and Nicolai Højgaard, Parker and Pierceson Coody and (mere brothers) Alex and Matt Fitzpatrick are all looking to take home a good chunk of change.

Riley and Hardy needed to birdie four of their final six holes a year ago to pull out the title over the red-hot duo of Hadwin and Taylor duo. The second-place Canadian squad shot an alternate-shot record 63 on Sunday, but it still wasn’t enough to best Riley and Hardy’s 72-hole record of 258. Don’t tell Riley and Hardy, but mo team has ever defended its championship at the Zurich Classic.

Each player on the winning team will receive 400 FedEx Cup points and a $1,286,050 share of the $8.9 million purse.

Home of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans since 2007, this Pete Dye design exudes a flair of TPC Sawgrass with some more low-profile design features like hidden bunkers and green complexes that offer options on approach. Dye had help from fellow tour pros Steve Elkington and New Orleans native Kelly Gibson on this 7,400 yard par-72 layout. Consistently ranked in the top 10 of Golf Digest’s Best in State, TPC Lousiana offers a nice mix of challenging short and long holes. View Course Leaderboard
