News and Notes
We have a team event on deck for the PGA TOUR as they head to TPC at Louisiana for the Zurich Classic. Defending champions Jon Rahm and Ryan Palmer are co-favorites alongside Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.
These two teams are a powerhouse on paper as Rahm and Palmer rank second and ninth in total adjusted Strokes Gained over their last 50 rounds, while Xander and Cantlay are first and fourth.
Golf is a volatile sport — but these teams should do well — especially during the alternate shot format. All four golfers rank inside the top 20 in adjusted Strokes Gained: Approach and Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee over their last 50 rounds, per Data Golf.
Given their overall metrics, it’s no surprise these pairings are the co-favorite with wildly short odds to finish in the top 20.
