Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Professional golf tournament at TPC Louisiana, US.
The Zurich Classic of New Orleans is a professional golf tournament held at TPC Louisiana in Avondale where teams compete together rather than as individuals. The four-day event brings approximately eighty golfer pairs to the course, which features water hazards and tree-lined fairways that demand precision play.
This event originated in 1938 as the Crescent City Open, a golf tournament rooted in New Orleans sporting tradition. Through the decades, it underwent various sponsorship changes and eventually adopted its current name and team-based format.
The tournament raises funds through the Fore!Kids Foundation to support children's charitable initiatives throughout the Greater New Orleans region.
The tournament alternates between two playing formats: alternate shot play in the first and third rounds, then better ball format for the second and fourth. This rotation between different match styles tests golfers in various ways and keeps the competition dynamic throughout the four days.
Winners receive 400 FedEx Cup points and two-year tour exemptions, with the 2022 champion team splitting a prize of 2.39 million dollars.
