Course Preview of the Zurich Open at TPC Louisiana
What a fun format this week. 2022 we brought the WGC Barcket challenge, and now bringing the team format in the Zurich Open This is a unique event because this is a team event.. We’d like to take the time to break down as much as we can…This used to be called the Greater New Orleans Open Invitational…This is the name it had from 1958-1971. How can it be an invitational and an open?The big thing about this week is the format. In 2017 this turned to a team event. So 4 team events…17, 18,20, and 21. (No 19 due to Covid)
