American Family Insurance Championship Team Format

The American Family Insurance Championship will use a 54-hole, three-day team format featuring Team Best Ball on the first and third days and Team Scramble on the second day.

For Team Best Ball play, each player on the team plays his own ball throughout the round. After each hole, the player with the lower score on that hole serves as the team’s score. Example: Player A pars the hole and Player B birdies; the team records a birdie.

For Team Scramble play, both players tee off on each hole. The team selects the preferred drive, and both players play their next shots from that location. This process continues—selecting the best shot and replaying—until the hole is completed and the team’s total strokes are recorded.

Field

The starting field will consist of 38 teams (76 players). Each of the top available players, based on PGA TOUR Champions eligibility standards, will choose his partner.

Zurich Classic Team Format

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans will use an alternating-round Four-ball and Foursomes format. The first and third rounds will be Four-ball, and the second and final rounds will be Foursomes.

For Foursomes play, players will rotate tee shots. One player will hit the tee shots on all the odd-numbered holes, and the other will hit the tee shot on even-numbered holes. Example: Player A and Player B are partners. On the first hole, Player A tees off; Player B plays the second shot; Player A plays the third shot; and so on until the ball is holed. The total strokes taken will result in the team’s score for that hole.

For Four-ball play, the players on each team will each play his own ball throughout the entirety of the round, with the best score on each hole recorded. Example: On the first hole, both golfers on each team tee off. Player A pars the hole and Player B birdies it. The team will be credited with a birdie.

Field

The starting field will consist of 80 teams (160 players). Each of the top available players from the PGA TOUR Priority Rankings who commits to the tournament will choose his partner, who in turn must have PGA TOUR status unless he is chosen as a tournament sponsor exemption.
