The 2023 Zurich Classic will take place at TPC Louisiana from Thursday-Sunday and the season's most unique PGA Tour event will feature 80 pairs playing two rounds of best ball and two rounds of alternate shot. It's been a busy stretch for the world's top golfers but top-five players Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay will be back in action to defend their crown after winning last season. 

Schauffele and Cantlay beat Sam Burns and Billy Horschel by two shots a season ago and they're the 4-1 favorites in the 2023 Zurich Classic odds from Caesars Sportsbook. So can they go back-to-back for another victory with both players coming off top fives at the RBC Heritage? And who else should you be considering as you make your Fantasy golf picks? 

Before you bet the 2023 Zurich Classic or lock in any Fantasy golf lineups, you NEED to see the Fantasy golf rankings from golf expert Eric Cohen.

Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner of the 2023 Honda Classic (Chris Kirk +3500), 2022 Open Championship (Cameron Smith +2200), 2022 U.S. Open (Matt Fitzpatrick +2500), and 2022 Phoenix Open (Scottie Scheffler's first career victory +2800). He is a daily contributor to SportsLine's YouTube Show "Early Edge in 5" and is a guest on "The Early Wedge" SportsLine YouTube golf show hosted by Jonathan Coachman.    Anyone who has followed Cohen's picks for those events is WAY UP on their golf picks.

Now, Cohen has ranked his top pairs for the 2023 Zurich Classic, and we can tell you the expert is strongly backing Billy Horschel and Sam Burns at 18-1. 

"Burns won the Dell Match Play event in March and most recently has finished T-29 at the Masters and T-15 last weekend at the RBC Heritage. Horschel finished 52nd in Augusta two weeks ago," Cohen told SportsLine. "This team finished second last year and T-4 in 2021. Horschel also won this event in 2018 with Scott Piercy."

On the other hand, Cohen is slightly fading brother tandem Matthew Fitzpatrick and Alex Fitzpatrick, even though Matthew is coming off a win last week at the 2023 RBC Heritage. They're priced among the favorites at 22-1 but Cohen barely has them cracking his top 10.    

Instead, Cohen is backing several longshots, including several pairs getting 18-1 odds or better! This format lends itself well to long shot teams and there are several on his radar. If they can pull off the victory, they would bring a SIGNIFICANT payday and make an excellent pick for your 2023 Zurich Classic Fantasy golf picks.
