The Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the longtime team event on the PGA TOUR schedule, takes place at the 7,425-yard, par-72 TPC Louisiana in Avondale, Louisiana and features a $9.5 million purse. Teams of two face off in Four-ball (best ball) and Foursomes (alternate shot). Check out the full format here.

In the first round, Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer tied the Four-ball course record with a 14-under 58 and took a one-shot lead. Davis Thompson and Austin Eckroat are the other team to post a sub-60 score in the first round with a 59. Big names will battle the cut line during Friday Foursomes as Brooks Koepka and Shane Lowry sit T50, while brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick are T30.
