It’s the Zurich Classic which features the only tournament that has pairs of twos in competition for the title. 18 of the top 30 golfers will be teeing off this weekend so that should make for a competitive weekend of golf.

With all of that in mind who should we be keeping an extra eye on this week? Let’s break it down.
2018 The Zurich Classic of New Orleans Favorites:
Rose/Stenson +800
Two of the biggest names in Rose and Stenson tee off together and come in as favorites but I don’t think they are worth a look.

At this tournament it’s usually the middle of the pack guys that finish higher and I don’t see these two even cracking the top ten when it’s all said and done.
Cantlay/Reed +1400
The Two Patricks tee off with eachother and this could be a winning combination. Patrick Reed is riding quite the high right now after winning the Masters.
At times before the moments would seem to be too big but that isn’t the case anymore. His price is rising and will probably be around +1000 by tee off, but still at this price this pair could be worth a look.
2018 The Zurich Classic of New Orleans Contenders:
Blixt/Smith +3300
There is not a ton saying that Blixt and Smith will repeat as champions but when you can get a defending champion at this price it’s at least worth a look.
That being said I don’t think this is someone you want to target. I just don’t see the price being worth any kind of payout.
Hoffman/Watney +3300
Charley Hoffman struggled last weekend but he has been playing some really good golf as of late, and should be confident.

His Partner Nick Watney is coming off his best finish of the season and also should have confidence. At this price they could be a duo you want to target.
2018 The Zurich Classic of New Orleans Sleeper (+5000 or higher):
Goosen/Aswegan
This duo tied for 14th place last year and they both have enjoyed success on this court. If you are looking for a longshot this is the only option I really see worth a play.
2018 The Zurich Classic of New Orleans Picks:
The guy I do really like is – Hoffman/Watney to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.
He gets his third win ever year and gets his season back on the right track.
