History: The Zurich Classic dates, in some form or another, back to 1922, though it didn't really get rolling consistently until 1958. It bounced around courses in the New Orleans area before settling in 2005 at TPC of Louisiana. Alas, Hurricane Katrina damaged the course, but the tournament returned there in 2007.
The TV: Thursday and Friday, 3-6p.m. ET, Golf Channel; Saturday and Sunday, 3-6p.m. ET, CBS.
The course: TPC Louisiana in Avondale ranks right in the middle of PGA Tour courses, 25th of 51 in difficulty. The course record is a 64, achieved by Kyle Reifers -- yes, the Kyle Reifers -- in 2007. The course will play at 7,520 yards, and as our pal above demonstrates, you don't want to wander too far into the rough.
The field: Notable names in the mix include Bubba Watson, Steve Stricker, Graeme McDowell and Luke Donald. Oh, and John Daly and David Duval are playing, too.
The fantasy picks: Luke Donald (A-list), Ben Crane, Steve Stricker (B-list), Brandt Snedeker (C-list).
The relevant video: Dig on some New Orleans love, as well as some outstanding golf, from David Frost's chip-in to win in 1990 to Lee Westwood's first PGA Tour victory:
Enjoy the tournament, everybody! Make your picks below!
