Zurich Classic 2024 Golf Betting Preview, Odds And PGA Picks

Following

This year’s seventh edition of the team event at the Zurich Classic is the only two-man team tournament on the PGA Tour. Held at TPC Louisiana 15 miles Southwest of New Orleans, the tournament is played on the Pete Dye-designed 7,435 yard par 72 course in Avondale.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler’s dominance continued last weekend with a victory in the RBC Heritage - his fourth win in five starts this year which includes The Masters. But Scheffler takes a break from golf this week to give his competitors a better shot at victory.

During Foursomes play, players will rotate tee shots. One player will hit the tee shots on all the odd-numbered holes, and the other will hit the tee shot on even-numbered holes. Players altermate shots until the ball is holed.

Making the Cut: The starting field will consist of 80 teams (160 players. The low 33 teams/pairs and ties following Round 2 continue play into the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Both players on the winning team receive a two-year winner’s exemption and an eligibility into Invitational fields, including the Tournament of Champions and The Players Championship.
