The 2026 Zurich Classic of New Orleans begins this week at TPC Louisiana. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the PGA Tour tournament, including a full Zurich Classic TV schedule, streaming information and complete tee times for the first and second rounds once they are released.
How to watch Zurich Classic of New Orleans
The last two weeks saw big tournaments with star-studded fields, first at the Masters, then at the RBC Heritage, a PGA Tour Signature Event. This week, the Tour turns down the intensity a bit for the only team tournament of the season at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
Dozens of two-player teams will duke it out across four rounds. Thursday’s opening round and Saturday’s third round will feature a four-ball format, where each player plays his own ball and counts the lowest score between them. Foursomes, or alternate shot, will be the format for the second and final rounds on Friday and Sunday.
While the atmosphere is more laidback than a traditional event, the prize money is very real. The total Zurich Classic purse is $9.5 million, with each winning player taking home over $1.3 million. That makes it a great chance for lesser pros to earn a huge payday and some important FedEx Cup points. Rewards also include a two-year Tour exemption and spots in the PGA Championship and Signature Events.
But the top two teams feature some heavyweights. World No. 3 Matt Fitzpatrick, who won last week’s RBC Heritage, is teaming up with his brother, DP World Tour winner Alex Fitzpatrick. They are the betting favorites. In another accomplished team, Brooks Koepka is fighting alongside Shane Lowry.
CBS and Golf Channel will provide TV coverage of the 2026 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, while PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will offer streaming coverage and featured group coverage all week long. Paramount+ will air simulcasts of CBS’s coverage.
