The PGA Tour’s only regular-season team event begins on April 24 with the Zurich Classic, at the TPC Louisiana in Avondale, La.
The two-player teams will play fourball in the first and third rounds and alternate shot in the second and fourth rounds.
Under a fourball format, each player completes the hole, and the best score goes to the team total.
In alternate shot, one player tees off, and his teammate hits the next shot until the hole is completed. They rotate until the hole is completed. Each player must hit the tee shot on half the holes.
