After the latest of the PGA Tour’s signature events, the RBC Heritage, there’s a different feel to proceedings this week with the team tournament, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana.
The tournament sees 160 players form 80 teams of two, with rounds alternating between fourball and foursomes. There’s also a 36-hole cut that sees the top 33 teams and ties progress.
In 2024, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry won in the first playoff hole to see off the challenge of Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer. That handed them a team prize of $2,572,100 with the earnings split 50/50 to give them $1,286,050 each from the overall payout of $8,900,000.
However, this year, there is even more to play for, with the purse increasing to $9,200,000. That means the winning team will earn $2,658,800, handing them each $1,329,400.
Among the other incentives are 400 FedEx Cup points for each of the winners and a two-year PGA Tour exemption. They will also claim places at the PGA Championship and signature events. However, unlike many other PGA Tour events, winners won’t receive either a Masters invite or world ranking points.
Below is the prize money payout for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
