Zurich Classic 2023: Tee Times, Field, Pairings, and Weather Forecast

The 2023 Zurich Classic will tee off from TPC Louisiana on Thursday and golfers will have to deal windy conditions this weekend. Find the 2023 Zurich Classic tee times, field, and weather forecast for all four days at TPC Louisiana.

The weather hasn’t cooperated with the PGA Tour for the last two weeks but the forecast in Louisiana is shaping up nicely for a great weekend of golf at the Zurich Classic. There will be a lot of humidity, strong winds, and just one day of rain in the weather forecast for TPC Louisiana.

After two action-packed weeks, the field will be weaker at the Zurich Classic with only eight of the top 20 players on the Official World Golf Rankings competing in New Orleans.

Unlike most PGA Tour tournaments, the Zurich Classic is a team event and will have two format styles. The first and third rounds will feature alternate shot (foursome) and better ball (fourball) for the second and fourth rounds. Teams will be ready to tee off at 8:26 a.m. ET.

Zurich Classic 2023 Field

In the last few years, the Zurich Classic has switched over to a team-style event, where eight pairs take to the course to compete with better ball and alternate shot formats.

The Zurich Classic features a smaller purse and no world ranking points are awarded at the tournament, but there are some perks to winning in New Orleans.

In fact, winning the Zurich Classic buys an automatic two-year bid on the PGA Tour. In addition, winners receive FedEx Cup points and invitations to the PGA Championship, Players Championship and Sentry Test of Champions.

This year the field at TPC Louisiana is highlighted by defending champions Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay. Other top teams to follow include Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim, Sungjae Im and Keith Mitchell, Sahith Theegala and Justin Suh, Max Homa and Collin Morikawa, and more.

With eight of the top 20 golfers in the world in action, the Zurich Classic promises to be one of the must-watch events of the season.
