Hello Golf Strategy Enthusiasts,

Get ready for a unique spectacle on the PGA TOUR—the 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans is teeing off from April 24-27 at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, LA! As the only team event on the TOUR, this tournament brings a fresh twist to professional golf, blending strategy, teamwork, and the vibrant energy of New Orleans. Whether you’re watching from the fairways or your living room, here’s everything you need to know to dive into the action.

I was reading through the Zurich Classic Tournament Magazine and just found out this year is the 20th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The Zurich Classic has generated more than $700 million in economic activity for New Orleans since 2005. It looks like the Fore!Kids Foundation has also generated over $30 million for charitable organizations that support 200,000 children in need annually throughout Louisiana.

So if you need an excuse for why you are watching? It’s to help the children!
