Description

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans is a professional golf tournament in Louisiana on the PGA Tour, played in Avondale. Dating back 83 years ago to 1938 and held annually since 1958, it is commonly played in early to mid-spring. Zurich Insurance Group is the main sponsor, and it is organized by the Fore!Kids Foundation.
In 2017, the Zurich Classic became a team event, with eighty teams of two. One member of each team is initially chosen via the Tour priority rankings, and his partner must be either a PGA Tour member or earn entry through a sponsor exemption. The stroke play format was alternate shot (foursome) in the first and third rounds and better ball (fourball) for the second and fourth rounds. The cut line is 35 teams, plus ties.
The event takes place Apr 22-25 and has a prize fund of $7,400,000

The Australian duo wound up tied with the South African team of Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen after 72 holes of mixed fourball and foursomes format. Keeping with the final-round alternate-shot format, the pair played the par-5 18th hole in foursomes for the first playoff hole after tying on 20-under 268.
Leishman and Smith made a par, and that was good enough to win the event. Smith won the tournament for the second time in his career.
