We are eager to see the PGA Tour as it tees off this week for what is now the eighth edition of the Zurich Classic, the only team event on the tour’s regular season schedule.
The Zurich Classic, taking place at the field at TPC Louisiana, not only includes 160 players divided into 80 teams. This year, it will be headlined by the current defending champion duo of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry, who took the victory in 2024.
Ever since the switch from the previous format to the current team event, this has become one of the most interesting events to watch during the regular PGA tour.
