The PGA Tour will trade the coastal shores of Hilton Head Island in exchange for the warm, flat marshes of Louisiana ahead of the 2023 Zurich Classic. It’s a break from the standard stroke play format once again, but unlike Match Play, golfers will be teamed up to play better ball (Four-Ball) and alternate shot (Foursomes) while navigating a cut line after the first two rounds. Last year, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele set a course record at TPC Louisiana with a final scorecard of -29-under-par, which is why they are once again the outright betting favorites to defend their title in 2023.
DFS sites still designate salaries for individual players; however, they have a ‘PTR’ tag associated with their production since Better Ball and Alternate Shot require both players to work in tandem to get the lowest score possible. Players are individually priced but identical in terms of salary on DraftKings so that we can opt to roster a player from a different pairing without needing to pay more for Sahith Theegala compared to Justin Suh. Since FanDuel doesn’t have Zurich Classic contests available at this time, we will focus strictly on DraftKings ahead of this unique event.
