Zurich Classic of New Orleans First Round Fourballs Tee Times at TPC Louisiana
The PGA Tour's sole official team event of the season gets underway this Thursday. Check out the first round tee times at TPC Louisiana.
The first-round tee times for the 2026 Zurich Classic of New Orleans have been confirmed, with the PGA Tour’s only official team event set for an intriguing start on Thursday.
Staged at TPC Louisiana, the Zurich Classic features 80 two-man teams competing across alternating formats.
Thursday’s opening round is played as fourballs (best ball), offering the best opportunity for low scoring before the tougher alternate-shot foursomes format arrives on Friday.
A halfway cut to the top 33 teams and ties will then set the stage for the weekend.
Among the standout pairings, Shane Lowry and Brooks Koepka team up for the first time, while brothers Matt Fitzpatrick and Alex Fitzpatrick arrive in excellent form following recent wins on both sides of the Atlantic. Matt has won two of his last three starts, including a playoff victory over world number one at the RBC Heritage on Sunday.
The pairings of Koepka / Lowry and the Fitzpatrick brothers will meet each other for the first two rounds, too. They'll tee off together from the 1st tee at 12.29pm in Thursday's first round.
Other notable teams include English duo Marco Penge and Matt Wallace, rising stars Karl Vilips and Michael Thorbjornsen, and defending champions Ben Griffin and Andrew Novak.
Griffin and Novak will bid to become the first team to successfully defend the title.
