The 2026 Zurich Classic of New Orleans will hand out a trophy and a big payday to not one but two PGA Tour pros on Sunday, as the lone team event on the schedule comes to a finish.
Brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick are the leaders by four after three rounds thanks to a record-breaking 15-under 57 in Saturday’s best-ball format. But Sunday will be played under alternate shot rules, meaning the scores won’t be nearly as low, which could leave the door open for one of the chasing teams to put some pressure on the Fitzpatrick brothers.

Matt Fitzpatrick and brother Alex will hit the first tee at 1:58 p.m. ET, their four-shot lead still safe so far. A few duos are 2 under in the early going.
