How the Zurich Classic works
Team Format Rules:
- Rounds 1 and 3 are Four-Ball (Best-Ball)
- Rounds 2 and 4 are Foursomes (Alternate Shot)
For Four-Ball play, the players on each team will each play their ball throughout the entirety of the round. The best score between the two players is recorded.
During 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. The total strokes taken will result in the team’s score for that hole.
Making the Cut: The low 33 teams and ties following Round 2 continue to play into the weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
Both players on the winning team receive a two-year winner’s exemption and eligibility into Invitational fields. Including the Tournament of Champions, THE PLAYERS Championship and also the PGA Championship plus Signature Events.
