How the Team Format Works
The Zurich Classic uses two formats over four rounds. Rounds 1 and 3 are <strong>four-ball</strong> (best ball - each player plays their own ball, and the lower score counts). Rounds 2 and 4 are <strong>foursomes</strong> (alternate shot - teammates alternate hitting the same ball). The team format adds a strategic element not found in other PGA Tour events.
