A unique event on the PGA Tour takes place at TPC Louisiana with the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
After weeks of many of the game's household names battling it out for some of the biggest prizes in golf, this week's offering promises a less intense affair. Although some of the highest-profile stars will still be competing in the tournament, which sees teams of two take on opponents in alternating rounds of four-ball and foursomes matches.
Rory McIlroy participates in the tournament for the first time alongside Team Europe Ryder Cup colleague Shane Lowry. They begin at 1.44pm ET (6.44pm BST) in the first round, with a second-round tee time of 9.53am ET (2.53pm BST) alongside Collin Morikawa and Kurt Kitayama.
Another team to keep an eye on will be the one comprising 2022 winners Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, who begin at 8.39am ET (1.39pm BST) on Thursday, before heading out at 2.08pm ET (7.08pm BST) on Friday alongside Sahith Theegala and Will Zalatoris.

Defending champions Nick Hardy and Davis Riley also return. They get started at 8.52am ET (1.52pm BST) alongside Brice Garnett and Sepp Straka in the first round, before teeing it up at 2.19pm ET (7.19pm BST) in the second round.
