The Format
The Zurich Classic of New Orleans is played over four days, comprising 74 teams of two.
The cut is the top 33 teams plus ties after 36 holes.
Teams play four-ball for rounds one and three at TPC Louisiana, where the players each play their own ball for the duration of the round, with the best score on each hole recorded.
Teams play foursomes for rounds two and four at TPC Louisiana, where players rotate tee shots (one player will tee off on even-numbered holes and the other on odd-numbered holes) and strokes.
Player A will tee off, with Player B taking the next shot etc., until the completion of the hole. The total strokes taken between the team will be the team's score for that hole.
