The Zurich Classic returns to Avondale, Louisiana,, and kicks off on Thursday, April 25. Many exciting golfers will pair up for a chance to succeed in a slice of the $8,900,000 prize pool, with Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele the favored team with a moneyline at +390.

The 2024 Zurich Classic will proceed at the TPC Louisiana. This good course spans 7,425 total yards and is a Par 72.

This event features four-ball and foursomes. Four-ball will be utilized in rounds one and three, whereas alternate shot play will take place in rounds two and four.

Four-ball means that the golfers will use the best score from each player per round. With foursomes, golfers will start on odd-numbered holes while their teammate tees off on even ones. Play will alternate shots until the ball makes the hole.

Plenty of talent will be in this tournament, which makes it even better that there are teams to watch succeed together. Below are a few picks that could stand out.

McIlroy is the second best golfer in the world rankings and is arguably one of the bigger threats here. While he has not performed as well as he wants this season, he has a great opportunity to succeed here.

This will be his fourth straight tournament appearance, but his 11^th overall this season. Lowry comes in as the 37^th best in the world and placed T64 at the RBC Heritage in his latest event.

Brotherly love is back in the works after the two paired together in last year’s event, which was a T19 output. This season, the others have done a solid job in a handful of events.

Alex is coming off of a top 25 performance in the Corales Punta Cana Championship. As for Matt, he currently ranks 12^th in the world and is coming off of a T30 finish at the RBC Heritage.

MyBookie presents the betting odds for the 2024 Zurich Classic, with Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele the favored duo to win. Their success in events like this shows why they have an appealing opportunity here.

They were first paired together in 2022 when they won that event. Schauffele ranks as the third-best golfer in the world, while Cantlay ranks eighth.

The duo nearly won last year’s event, finishing four strokes back and came in T4. This would have marked their second consecutive victory here, which would have been an incredible feat. The duo seem to like it here and they are playing exceptionally well coming in, making them the best choice to pick.
