The 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans marks the PGA Tour's lone team event of the year. The Zurich Classic is set to get underway on Thursday, April 24, from TPC Louisiana. Eighty teams are set to compete in best ball and alternate shot formats. The first and third rounds are played with best-ball scoring, while the second and fourth rounds are played with alternate shot. 

Defending champions Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are the +350 favorites, according to the latest 2025 Zurich Classic odds. They're followed by Collin Morikawa/Kurt Kitayama (12-1) and J.T. Poston/Keith Mitchell (16-1) on the PGA odds board. Should your 2025 Zurich Classic picks include backing the defending champs, or will a duo like Nick Taylor/Adam Hadwin (35-1) finish on top of the leaderboard? McIlroy/Lowry are -120 to secure a top-five finish, while Detry/MacIntyre are +160 to crack the top 10.
