Billy Horschel, a two-time Zurich Classic champion, will pair with PGA Tour veteran Tom Hoge at this year’s Zurich Classic, tournament officials announced Monday.

Horschel is the only player to claim both individual and team titles at the event, which will be held April 23-26 at TPC of Louisiana. He recorded his first career victory on the PGA Tour at the 2013 Zurich and teamed with Scott Piercy to win the tournament five years later.

Horschel was forced to withdraw from last year’s Zurich Classic due to a hip injury, and returned to the PGA Tour in October, scoring a tie for 11th in the Bank of Utah Challenge, his second tournament back. Prior to his surgery, he had finished tied for ninth in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and tied for fourth in the Valspar Championship played three weeks before the Zurich Classic.

“We welcome Billy back to our tournament after his injury last year,” said Steve Worthy, CEO of the Fore!Kids Foundation, producer of the tournament. “He has shown consistent success in the Zurich Classic over the years. In addition to his two wins, he finished tied for fourth in the 2021 tournament and earned a solo second the following year, so we always expect to see him on the leaderboard, again with a great partner in Tom Hoge.”

Horschel and Hoge join a field that includes, among others, Brooks Koepka, Shane Lowry, Matt Fitzpatrick, Sahith Theegala and defending champions Ben Griffin and Andrew Novak.

Horschel has become a mainstay at the Zurich, where he has developed a strong following among fans and longstanding friendships in the local community. He has earned more than $3 million in 13 appearances at the tournament.

His first career Tour victory came in 2013 at the Zurich Classic, with a memorable 26-foot putt on the 72nd hole. That culminated a four-tournament streak when he finished tied for second, tied for third and tied for ninth in his first full season on the PGA Tour.
