The Zurich Classic of New Orleans will be held at TPC Louisiana in Avondale from April 20 to 23. TPC is a renowned golf course in the USA. It was established in 2004 and is best known for organizing the Zurich Classic.
The golf course was designed by Pete Dye in consolation with Kelly Gibson and Steve Elkington. It was the home for the LGA amateur and junior-level tournaments before conducting the Zurich Classic in 2007.
The 72-par course is 7,425 yards long. The best performance at the venue was recorded in 2022 by Ken Archer, who played a round of 61.
The 2023 edition of the Zurich Classic will also be held at its permanent home this weekend. One hundred and sixty players have registered for the tournament and will be playing in teams of two.
The tournament has a purse of $8.6 million with the winner receiving a check for $1.2 million each. Last year's winners Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele will return to defend the title. Noticeably, Cantlay is the top-ranked player in the field this year as Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy stand out from the event.
