2023 Zurich Classic of New Orleans Full Field: Team Play Returns to PGA Tour
If you're the kind of fan who yearns for a break from the weekly individual stroke play routine of the PGA Tour, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans is your event.
For the sixth time, the longtime Tour stop will be played as a two-man team event. The first and third rounds are played with best-ball scoring, where going low is mandatory, while the second and fourth rounds are played at alternate shot, which can test one's relationship with their partner.
Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay return as defending champions; the close friends have also been formidable as a duo in Presidents and Ryder Cups.
Other intriguing teams include 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick and his brother Matt, Californians Collin Morikawa and Max Homa, and Ryder Cup captains present and past with Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker.
Here is the entry list for the event.
