How to watch the Zurich Classic of New Orleans
The last two weeks saw huge tournaments with star-studded fields, first in the Masterthen in RBC inheritancea signature event of the PGA Tour. This week, the Tour dials down the intensity a bit for the season’s only team tournament at the New Orleans Zurich Classic.
Dozens of two-player teams will do it over four rounds. Thursday’s opening round and Saturday’s third round will feature a four-ball format, with each player playing their own ball and counting the lowest score between them. Foursomes, or alternate shots, will be the format for the second and final rounds on Friday and Sunday.
While the atmosphere is more relaxed than a traditional event, the prize money is very real. The Zurich Classic’s total purse is $9.5 million, with each winning player taking home over $1.3 million. This makes it a great chance for smaller pros to win a big payday and some major FedEx Cup Points. Rewards also include a two-year tour exemption and seats at the PGA Championship and Signature Events.
But the top two teams have some heavyweights. Number 3 in the world Matt Fitzpatrickwho won the RBC Heritage last week, is joining his DP World Tour winner brother Alex Fitzpatrick. They are the betting favourites. In another complete team, Brooks Koepka is fighting alongside Shane Lowry.
CBS and Golf Channel will provide television coverage of the 2026 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, while PGA Tour live on ESPN+ will offer broadcast coverage and featured group coverage throughout the week. Paramount+ will simulcast CBS coverage.
