The Zurich Classic of New Orleans is one of the most exciting tournaments on the PGA Tour calendar. Golfers thronged the TPC Lousiana layout to participate in the 2021 edition, but they will soon be filtered with a 36-hole cut. This year’s cut line also brings great news to the teams who make it to the weekend!

The PGA Tour through its official communications page informed that all teams that qualify for the weekend will get a special song as a recognition. Furthermore, these teams get a special song each, which will be played as a walk-up track when they’re announced on the tee.

So, every team that makes the cut will be honored with a walk-up song when they appear for Round 3 at Zurich Classic 2021. How cool is that? Fans would already be making assumptions as to which song their favorite team would be choosing!

Right now, a few teams look to be the favorites to win at TPC Louisiana. Among them, the most surprising pair has been the Norweigan duo of Viktor Hovland and Kris Ventura!
