Zurich Classic Of New Orleans Field
Two years into the Zurich Classic experiment, there’s no doubt organizers and fans have been thrilled with the PGA Tour’s resurgent annual stop in New Orleans.
Breaking away from the standard 72-hole stroke-play format in 2017 was certainly a risk, but switching things up with a two-man team event has led to stronger fields and increased interest as one of the few Tour events to stand out in a unique way.
During second-round Foursomes play in the 2019 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, play was suspended due to darkness for the second-straight day as Peter Malnati. The final round of the Zurich Classic is set to tee off on Sunday morning at TPC Louisiana in New Orleans, where the teams of Trey Mullinax/Scott Stallings and Ryan Palmer/Jon Rahm lead after 54. In late April, join some of your favorite players at The Zurich Classic of New Orleans, one of the most fun tournaments on the PGA tour. Played on the emerald grass of the Tournament Players Club Louisiana in Avondale, about 15 miles from downtown, the course is beautiful (with plenty of shady trees), the weather is usually perfect, and there’s always plenty of parking.
