Certain guys can’t wait to play alongside one of their buddies in the only “team format” of the year.

Others just want to get their hands on the Turtle Soup at Commander’s Palace and the beignets from Café Du Monde.

Those of you who have visited the Big Easy and have taken a stroll through the French Quarter know exactly what I’m talking about.

For a more in-depth look at which teams are poised to contend, just keep on reading. In this Zurich Classic betting preview I’m going to look at nine teams who could wind up being the last onesstanding.

I’ll start with the odds and then assess the top contenders, some sleepers to consider, and some long-shots who might just cause a surprise. I’ll also provide my picks for the best bets at the2019 Zurich Classic.

Matchup picks will follow once the odds have been released.

2019 Zurich Classic – Odds to Win

Remember, you are betting on a pair of golfers this week as opposed to a single individual. Bovada.lv opened by listing 30 teams with+7000 odds or better.

Check them out below.

In terms of the top contenders, I’d consider the nine teams with +2500 odds or better as the groups to be reckoned with. Billy Horschel and Scott Piercy wound up as the champs in 2018, but theteam that finished solo-third is where I’ll start this segment.

These South African mates are no stranger to team competition together. This pair finished in third place at the 2018 Zurich Classic, but there’s more to their backstory.

Louis and Charl played together during all four team matches at the 2013 Presidents Cup as well as at the 2011 World Cup. Forget about Schwartzel’s lackluster play thus far in 2019 as I’m wellaware the 2011 Masters Champ has missed 8 of 12 cuts.

Having Oosthuizen to lean on should propel Charl into playing the type of golf we all know he is capable of playing. At +2500 across all of the top golf betting sites, it’s not the worst idea to invest a few bucks.

Will the third time be the charm? Cantlay and Reed tied for 14^th at the 2017 Zurich Classic before finishing 7^th in last year’s edition. Perhaps the “two Patricks” willraise their play and wind up in the winner’s circle in 2019. After all, it’s hard to envision a scenario where this duo isn’t in the mix on Sunday.

Cantlay is coming off a third-place finish at the RBC Heritage, and that’s after putting himself in contention at the Masters. Reed hasn’t had his best stuff in 2019, but Cantlay’s consistentplay should push him to play inspired golf.

The good news is if you shop your lines and head over to SportsBetting.ag, you can latch on to “Patrick squared” at +1400.

It’s a cute nod to the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusted sidekick, but I’m actually here to talk about J.B. and Bubba.

“Holmes and Watson” teamed up in 2017 en route to a 5^th-place showing despite shooting over par during Thursday’s opening round. After going their separate ways in 2018 and sustainingmuch less success (Watson: T-28^th w/ Matt Kuchar, Holmes: MC w/ Brandt Snedeker), the two long-ball hitters have gotten the band back together.

Their fearless attitudes bode really well in this type of format, as do their abilities to make birdies in bunches. Even better, J.B. and Bubba both like to hit a fade, but because Bubba is alefty, that means they move the ball in the opposite direction.

I recommend shooting over to MyBookie.ag and locking this pair in at the handsome price of +1800 before any “private investigations” lead to this line being altered.

Let’s now shift our attention a bit further down the betting sheet and take a look at some teams in the middle of the pack.

This Spanish-speaking twosome will pair up together for the first time at the Zurich Classic, and I think this could be a match made in heaven.

For starters, Vegas ranks 5^th on the PGA Tour in early scoring average but struggles when playing in the late wave (113^th). On the flip side, his partner this week is theexact opposite. Ancer ranks 2^nd on tour with a 68.86 scoring average during the late portion of the day as opposed to ranking 110^th when playing in the morning.

Secondly, both men are pristine ball strikers, and neither makes too many mistakes.

I could easily see Jhonattan and Abraham getting off to a fast start during Thursday’s best-ball format, but I like their chances of succeeding even more during alternate shot (Friday andSunday).

Branden Grace and Justin Harding are both a bit hit or miss when it comes to their performances on the PGA Tour. The good news for Branden and Justin is that for two of the four days, they can“ham and egg” their way around the golf course.

When you take into account that Grace and Harding are +4000 and +4500 to win this tournament at some of the other most reputable golf sportsbooks, you’ll start to like the +5000 number onBovada.lv more and more.

Zurich Classic Odds 2017 Season

Take a gamble on this South African pair. It just might pay off.

Chris Stroud and Jason Kokrak might not be household names, but I can promise you that sharp bettors will be keen on firing some bets on them this week.

If you are wondering what Jason Kokrak has been up to, all you have to do is look on the first two pages of the leaderboard for the past three months.

Seriously, since late January alone, Jason has amassed eight top-20 finishes on the PGA Tour. The dude hasn’t missed a cut since July of 2018 and absolutely bombs the cover off of the golf ball.After a 2^nd and 7^th at the Valspar Championship and Valero Texas Open respectively, Kokrak birdied five straight holes on Sunday at the RBC to pull within a shot of thelead.

Chris Stroud isn’t too shabby himself and has already accumulated three top 10s in 2019. This week marks a perfect opportunity for the Houston native to notch top-10 #4, and winning his secondcareer PGA Tour could very well be within the cards.

Now that I’ve given you a handful of teams to account for, I want to focus on two more teams who shouldn’t be ignored. At their given price tags, they could provide a serious payday.

I’m a bit puzzled why MyBookie.ag has priced C.T. Pan and Michael Kim at +10000 to win this week. Don’t they know that Kim won the John Deere Classic last year by 8 strokes over FrancescoMolinari?

Because I know for certain they saw C.T. Panwin the 2019 RBC Heritage this past weekend.

Neither of these two men hit the ball very long according to PGA Tour standards, but you’d better believe they can fill it up with the putter.

I can see Pan continuing the rock-solid play he displayed at Harbour Town quite easily. It’s more than feasible that his good friend Michael Kim can feed off the positive energy.

If I told you this pair was +6600 and +9000 elsewhere, would you then be perked up about seeing them at +10000?

Listed at +8000 to win the Zurich Classic at TPC Louisiana, you may want to throw a flier on Brice Garnett and Chesson Hadley.

Why?

Well, the two drummed out a fourth-place showing here last year which included a sizzling 61 in Saturday’s third round. Also, Brice and Chesson have both won on the PGA Tour before.

Neither man would be classified as particularly consistent, although the format this week could help change up their monotonous routines. I’m not saying theywill win, but Ihave seen stranger things happen.

Here are a couple of Scottsdale residents who could end up meshing really well together. Their price is varied across the industry, but +8000 on J.J. Spaun and Matt Jones to emerge victorious atthe Zurich Classic is the most favorable number I could find (BetOnline.ag).

Jones has made seven straight cuts and has gradually been finding some respectable form. Spaun battled injuries throughout the spring but now appears to be back on track after a28^th-place finish at Harbour Town.

The team format will allow J.J. and Matt to relax even more than they would during a typical week, and I’m intrigued to see how that mindset translates to the golf course. The two already have alaid-back approach when they play, so this week should be filled with plenty of laughter and loads of fun.

And don’t forget about birdies and eagles. Those too.

After studying the betting sheet and giving you three teams from each “price point,” here is the part where I quickly give you my three favorite plays of the week.

I’ll keep this interesting and highlight one play from each category.

Enjoy the Action!

New Orleans isn’t just a great place to host a golf tournament; it also happens to be one of the coolest cities in the world. Balancing work and play will be on the forefront this week as thereis a ton to do and lots to see in the Crescent City.

I tried to pinpoint the teams who I think will be up for the challenge, but ultimately, deciding on which duos to back is up to you. What I do suggest is if you plan on watching the tournamentunfold, invest in the action as well by placing some wagers at the top online golf betting sites.

It’ll make the viewing pleasure that much more stimulating.

We had another first-time winner on the PGA Tour this season Sunday at the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio as Kevin Chappell brought a one-shot lead into the final round and held on for once. He made an eight-foot birdie putt at the 72^nd hole to beat Brooks Koepka by a shot. Chappell had a pretty memorable post-victory celebration - I recommend checking it out.

The 30-year-old Chappell was arguably the best player on Tour at least age 30 without a victory. He had finished second six times and third three in 179 previous PGA Tour events. Chappell had been 0-for-3 previously when leading after 54 holes in a tournament. He was only the 10th player to convert a 54-hole lead/co-lead this season in 23 events. Chappell jumped from 113th to 21st in the FedEx Cup standings and from 19th to fifth on the U.S. points table for this year's Presidents Cup team. Koepka was three groups ahead of Chappell on Sunday and birdied the par-5 18^th to pull into a tie for first briefly. Koepka admitted his second-round 74 was the killer.

I did get Chappell at even for a head-to-head over Brendan Steele. I don't usually recommend defending champions but liked Charley Hoffman to repeat because he has such a good history at TPC San Antonio. Hoffman was T40. I did get Ryan Palmer at +275 for a Top 10 and a few other head-to-head props.

So now the PGA Tour heads to the TPC Louisiana, a par-72 measuring 7,425 yards for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. I had forgotten that this tournament announced a format change last winter. As I'm sure you know, the PGA Tour's fan base skews quite old. So the Tour - and the European Tour - is very open to trying new things to get more eyeballs and luring young fans. The opposite of anything Augusta National does, basically.

The Zurich Classic is now a two-man team event like you might see in the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup. This tournament isn't in a great spot on the schedule a couple weeks after the Masters and it wanted to drum up some buzz. Looking at the quality of the field compared to past year, it appears to have worked as 25 of the world's Top 50 are set to play. It's the first official Tour event to mix alternate-shot (foursomes) and best-ball (four-ball) formats; the 80 two-man teams will play alternate shot in the first and third rounds and best-ball in the second and fourth.

It's also the first time two-man teams have been used in an official PGA Tour event since the 1981 Walt Disney World National Team Championship. That only used best ball. There's a cut to the low 35 teams and ties after 36 holes. In case of a tie after 72 holes, there will be a sudden-death playoff using the best-ball format. The winning team gets all the spoils an individual would, such as a two-year exemption, spot in the Players Championship and PGA Championship, etc. The only difference is no world golf rankings points will be at stake. A lot of guys are playing with their buddies or countrymen; some of these pairings you might see later this year at the Presidents Cup.

For what it's worth, the defending champion is Brian Stuard, who won a three-man playoff on Monday after rain shortened the tournament to 54 holes. It was Stuard's first PGA Tour win and he didn't have a single bogey. Stuard is playing this week with Chris Stroud.

Golf Odds: Zurich Classic of New Orleans Favorites

The pairings of Justin Rose/Henrik Stenson and Jason Day/Rickie Fowler are the +600 favorites. Rose comes off his near-miss at the Masters and won this tournament in 2015. Stenson is in a puzzling funk with three straight missed cuts. Those two went 3-0 together at the 2014 Ryder Cup, including setting an event record with 12 birdies in a four-balls match.

Day has struggled a bit his past three tournaments, but he was dealing with his mother having cancer surgery. She's apparently much better now. Day was Top 5 at this tournament the past two years. Fowler was 20^th here in 2016.

Jordan Spieth/Palmer (+1000), Daniel Berger/Thomas Pieters (+1400) and Branden Grace/Louis Oosthuizen (+1400) round out the favorites. Spieth wasn't planning on playing here but decided to play with his Texas buddy Palmer with the format change.

Golf Odds: Zurich Classic of New Orleans Picks

As of now, no props available on this tournament - I doubt there will be many because of the unique format. Should be some Top 10s, though. I'm tempted to bet on Bubba Watson/JB Holmes at +2200 because they have to be the biggest-hitting duo out there. Bubba won here in 2011. Holmes last played the event in 2014.

But let's go with the South African duo of Grace and Oosthuizen to win. They enjoy playing together and were 4-0 as a duo at the 2015 Presidents Cup in Korea. It's the first time these two are playing this tournament.
