See who’s teaming up at Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Editor's note: Billy Horschel withdrew from the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Wednesday afternoon. Tom Hoge will now partner with first alternate Kevin Chappell.

Masters Tournament winner Rory McIlroy won’t wait long for his next title defense.

McIlroy and his longtime friend Shane Lowry are slated to run it back at the 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the PGA TOUR’s only official team event, after winning last year’s Zurich Classic in their first foray as a duo in New Orleans. McIlroy and Lowry defeated Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer on the first extra hole at TPC Louisiana, and they’ll look for similar success next week in the Bayou State. The all-Irish duo’s appearance should bring ample fanfare after McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam at last week’s Masters, outlasting Justin Rose with a birdie on the first playoff hole at Augusta National Golf Club.

The 80-team field is set for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, April 24-27. Other team commitments announced include Collin Morikawa alongside Kurt Kitayama (frequent “Call of Duty” competitors), twin brothers Nicolai Højgaard and Rasmus Højgaard, brothers Matt Fitzpatrick and Alex Fitzpatrick, and Sahith Theegala playing with Aaron Rai.

McIlroy and Lowry committed to this year’s Zurich Classic in February.

The final field for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, April 24-27, features 80 teams at TPC Louisiana. The event uses an alternating-round Four-ball and Foursomes format. The first and third rounds will be Four-ball (best ball), and the second and final rounds will be Foursomes (alternate shot).

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans field is built as follows: Each of the top available players from the PGA TOUR Priority Ranking who commits to the tournament chooses his partner, who in turn must have PGA TOUR status unless he is chosen as a tournament sponsor exemption.
