Team Event
The PGA Tour’s next stop is in Louisana for the only team event on the schedule.
In 2016 the Zurich Classic was converted to a two-man team event.
Prior to Zurich’s conversion, the last official team event on the PGA Tour schedule was the Walt Disney World Team Tournament in 1981.
Its not Disney, but the New Orleans event always attracts the best players on tour.
This week’s field includes: Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Colin Morikawa, Jaoquin Neimann, Xander Schauffele, Cam Smith, and Bubba Watson.
