Eighteen holes of nervy alternate shot stand between the field and a big payday at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
The total purse for the week is $8.6 million, and the winning team receives $2,485,400 to split — $1,242,700 each — with second place bringing home $1,014,800 to divvy up.
Wyndham Clark and Beau Hossler lead the team event at 26 under and have a one-shot lead over Keith Mitchell and Sungjae Im heading into the final round at TPC Louisiana. Three teams begin the day three back: Vincent Norman/Matthias Schwab, Matthew NeSmith/Taylor Moore and Nick Hardy/Davis Riley.
The defending champions have more work to do, however. Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, the heavy betting favorites entering the week, are 20 under and six back. But the final round is foursomes (alternate shot), so there’s opportunities for teams to make moves. The last time Schauffele and Cantlay played foursomes, during Friday’s round, they set the tournament’s 18-hole foursomes scoring record by two with a nine-under 63.
Below is the complete payout breakdown for the tournament. You can watch from 1-3 p.m. ET on Golf Channel and 3-6 p.m. on CBS.
