The PGA Tour will switch things up this week when it heads to TPC Louisiana for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The four-day, four-round team event will use an alternating-round four-ball and foursomes format. The first and third rounds will be four-ball, while the second and final rounds will be foursomes.
A total of 80 teams of two players apiece will compete for both FedEx Cup points and prize money. Each team member will receive an equal share. For instance, the winning team will evenly split first- and second-place FedEx Cup points (500 for first and 300 for second for 800 total points, or 400 for each player). Prize money will be distributed the same way.
Ben Griffin and Andrew Novak won the event last season, finishing at 28-under 260, one stroke ahead of twin brothers Nicolai Højgaard and Rasmus Højgaard.
