The tournament consists of two-man teams and uses a Four-Ball (best ball) and Foursomes (alternate shot) format to determine the winner. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">The field is cut to the top-33 teams and ties for the weekend. Let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">(Editor\u2019s Note: For more expert betting picks, fantasy advice and event previews, visit <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"chakra-link css-vqpqpw\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/dknetwork.draftkings.com\/\">DraftKings Network<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">Top 5 (including ties) \u2013 Shane Lowry\/Brooks Koepka (+270)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">This pairing is going in one of two directions. The major champions and Ryder Cup stars will either puff out their tails, or the partnership will miserably disintegrate before the cut. Koepka\u2019s recent form, combined with Lowry\u2019s successes in this event, suggests the former. Koepka, who does not currently have access to the remaining Signature Events for 2026, would fix that with a victory this week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">Top 5 \u2013 Same Game Parlay \u2013 Matt Fitzpatrick\/Alex Fitzpatrick and Shane Lowry\/Brooks Koepka (+1047)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">For those of you who cannot decide between the top two choices, stick them together and hope for a playoff! The Fitzpatrick fellas enter the week in sizzling form. Matt defeated Scottie Scheffler on the first hole of sudden death to win the RBC Heritage for the second time in four years. Alex won the Hero Indian Open on the DP World Tour in late March, the last time he was in competition. The next step is lifting the trophy together in their fifth collaboration in New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">Top 10 \u2013 Same Game Parlay \u2013 Matt Fitzpatrick\/Alex Fitzpatrick, Shane Lowry\/Brooks Koepka and Zach Bauchou\/Sam Stevens (+1346)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">Folks, this is a week to have fun, so let\u2019s gamble! With only 33 teams and ties making the cut, getting to the weekend is the first step. Combined, Bauchou and Stevens have missed three cuts in 2026. In the only shootout of the year at The American Express, Stevens cashed T6, while Bauchou earned T13 money. Sticking the former Oklahoma State Cowboys with the two favorites presents an excellent return, given they all do their jobs!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">First Round Leader \u2013 Sudarshan Yellamaraju\/Ryan Gerard (+2800)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">The format for the first round features the best score of the two balls in play. I am backing two players ranked in the top 20 in Par Breakers for 2026. Yellamaraju, who ranks 10th, and Gerard, who ranks 18th, both make birdie or better 25% of the time. There are four par 5s this week on the par-72 layout. Both players are ranked in the top 40 in Par-5 Scoring as well. Between the pair, I would not be surprised if they gave the format record, 58, set last year, a run.<\/p>\n<p>*:not(style){overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;left:0px;display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;height:100%;}.css-17ygvlf>img,.css-17ygvlf>video{object-fit:cover;}.css-17ygvlf::before{height:0px;content:&#8221;&#8221;;display:block;padding-bottom:56.25%;}]]><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776980057_93_image.jpg\" alt=\"Sudarshan Yellamaraju sinks 23-foot birdie putt on No. 4 at RBC Heritage\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover\" loading=\"eager\" fetchpriority=\"high\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-16ejlxd\">Sudarshan Yellamaraju sinks 23-foot birdie putt on No. 4 at RBC Heritage<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">Top 20 (including ties) Same Game Parlay \u2013 John Parry\/Dan Brown and Austin Smotherman\/Andrew Putnam (+316)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">The longtime friends from England are both navigating the PGA TOUR waters for the first time. The Yorkshiremen will ride Parry\u2019s streak of 14 consecutive made cuts, while trying to get Brown back on track after three consecutive missed cuts, hence the plus money for a top 20. Austin Smotherman pocketed T8 money at The American Express before sharing second at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, which included a 62 in Round 1. Putnam, whose streak of made cuts has now reached six straight, shared second at The American Express and earned T5 money three weeks ago at the Valero Texas Open.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">Top 5 Longshot \u2013 David Lipsky\/Rico Hoey (+570)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family:var(--font-suisse-intl), &quot;Suisse Intl&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.7rem;line-height:2.6rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0rem;position:relative\">Some players excel at certain tracks or at certain events. David Lipsky is making his fifth start at TPC Louisiana and owns four paydays of T23 or better, including a pair of T4 paydays with two different partners. Paired with Aaron Rai for the first three years, the duo cashed T4-T13-T23. The 2025 edition saw him team up with Dylan Wu and the new duo didn\u2019t miss a beat. They signed for four rounds in the 60s and earned a share of fourth place. Lipsky, who finished second at the Valspar Championship to Matt Fitzpatrick, is excellent on and around the greens. Hoey, who has cashed in his last four starts, should be excited to be taking on a partner with Lipsky\u2019s pedigree in this event.<\/p>\n<p>*:not(style){overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;left:0px;display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;height:100%;}.css-11jnzpa>img,.css-11jnzpa>video{object-fit:cover;}.css-11jnzpa::before{height:0px;content:&#8221;&#8221;;display:block;padding-bottom:66.66666666666666%;}]]><img alt=\"Image for article.\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;object-fit:cover;color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fitz-brothers-OO.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Apr 20, 2026<\/p>\n<p><a role=\"link\" class=\"chakra-linkbox__overlay css-1hnz6hu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pgatour.com\/article\/news\/betting-dfs\/2026\/04\/20\/odds-outlook-zurich-classic-best-bets-props-tpc-louisiana-new-orleans\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds Outlook: Fresh off win(s), Fitzpatrick brothers favored at Zurich Classic<\/a><a class=\"chakra-link css-1jfg7sy\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pgatour.com\/news\/betting-dfs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Golfbet News<\/a><img alt=\"Image for article.\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;object-fit:cover;color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776980059_359_lipsky-hoey.jpg\"\/><img alt=\"Image for article.\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;object-fit:cover;color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776770352_231_Zurich_FirstLook_topper.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1D AGO 4 Min Read Golfbet News *:not(style){overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;left:0px;display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;height:100%;}.css-17ygvlf>img,.css-17ygvlf>video{object-fit:cover;}.css-17ygvlf::before{height:0px;content:&#8221;&#8221;;display:block;padding-bottom:56.25%;}]]&gt; DraftKings Odds: Who&#8217;s the real favorite at Zurich Classic? *:not(style)~*:not(style){margin-top:0.5rem;-webkit-margin-end:0px;margin-inline-end:0px;margin-bottom:0px;-webkit-margin-start:0px;margin-inline-start:0px;}]]&gt;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-626533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
