During the autumn of 2016, Zurich and the PGA TOUR revealed an intriguing new format for the Zurich Classic: a two-person team event. This was the first team event hosted by the PGA TOUR since 1981 and consisted of two rounds of both foursomes (known as alternate shot) and four-ball competition.

As the tournament showcases an array of team formats played on different days, this Thursday starts with a round that employs the best-ball format. Each player will use their ball for the entire hole in this format, with the team recording the lowest score. On Friday, the players will compete in an alternating shot format.

GOLF:

The best ball format in golf enables players to utilize their skills (as they keep track of their scores) while benefiting from their partner’s strong performance on sure holes. Scores are typically higher in this format than in a scramble because each player must play their shots. If a player makes a poor shot, they must play it out and rely on their partner to perform well. However, achieving remarkably low scores in the best ball format is still possible.

Last year, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele triumphed in the Zurich Classic team event, defeating Sam Burns and Billy Horschel by two strokes. This year marks the sixth edition of the tournament, scheduled from Thursday, April 20, to Sunday, April 23.

The event will be hosted at TPC Louisiana in New Orleans, featuring a par 72 course spanning a maximum length of 7,425 yards.
