Zurich Golf Classic

Golf fans will have a chance to support regional children’s charities while watching top PGA TOUR professionals at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The annual tournament boasts a multi- million dollar purse. Since 1938, when the tournament began, this event has been a crowd pleaser for golfers and non-golfers.

The Zurich Classic will be played at New Orleans’ magnificent golf course at the English Turn Golf & Country Club, which hosted the event from 1989-2004. Viewers are placed in a stadium-styled setting, putting them close to the action at every hole. The course is beautiful, serene and provides a unique Louisiana landscape.

Proceeds from the event go to the Fore!Kids Foundation, a charitable organization that generates funds through the production of golf-related events to support activities and programs benefiting area youth. The Foundation also hosts an American Junior Golf Association event, a summer Junior Golf Program and the Golf Ball, a black tie gala. Since its inception, the Fore!Kids Foundation has helped to raise more than $13 million for area children’s charities in the past six years.

The Fore!Kids Foundation, producers of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, is committed to the rebirth of an even greater New Orleans. Proceeds raised from the event will once again go to benefit the children’s services organizations the foundation helps to support.
