The field for next week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans is all set. It will be the first official PGA Tour event with a team format since the 1981 Walt Disney Classic.
The Format
The new 72-hole stroke play format will feature Foursomes (alternate shot) during the first and third rounds and Four-Ball (best ball) during the second and fourth rounds.
The Field
The field will consist of 80 teams (160 players). Following the conclusion of the second round, there will be a cut to the low 35 teams and ties at the 35th position. In case of a tie after 72 holes, there will be a sudden-death playoff using the Four-Ball format.
The Prizes
The players on the winning team will each receive $1 million and 400 FedEx Cup points.
