Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele will be hoping to become the first pair to win the
Zurich Classic of New Orleans Open twice.
What to know about Cantlay and Schauffele
Cantlay won the FedExCup in 2021 and earned the Jack Nicklaus Award as PGA Tour Player of the Year on the strength of taking four titles in the 2020-21 season.
While Schauffele has won seven times since joining the PGA Tour full-time in 2017 and he was named 2016/17 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
Latest News
Currently placed eighth on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), Cantlay narrowly missed out on the recent 2024 RBC Heritage title as he finished third.
Schauffele was also in action at the 2024 RBC Heritage and the fifth-ranked player in the world finished 18th in the PGA Tour event.
Why Cantlay and Schauffele are among the favourites
Cantlay and Schauffele make a great team having won the 2022 Zurich Classic by two strokes over the team of Billy Horschel and Sam Burns.
They also set the alternate shot record of 63 in the 2023 Zurich Classic and in the 2021 Ryder Cup, they won both matches when they were teamed together.
Quotes
“Patrick and Xander are two of the best players in the world,” Steve Worthy, CEO of the Fore!Kids Foundation, the producer of the tournament said.
“They have partnered successfully in both Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup competitions, and they won our tournament before, so we expect them to be among the favorites here this year."
