How to watch Sunday’s Zurich Classic live online, TV schedule, radio and more

The PGA Tour makes its annual stop in New Orleans this week for the Zurich Classic. The TPC Louisiana venue has settled into this post-Masters spot on the schedule, and while it falls during a tough week, the field is still fairly deep.

This is a down stretch on the rota, when most of the top players in the world are taking off after the Masters and before The Players. Throw in the move of the WGC Match Play, which almost always attracts the top 60 players in the world, to the first week of May, and you’d think there would be slim pickings in New Orleans. But several big names who will probably play the Match Play and The Players the next two weeks are also in New Orleans.

Dustin Johnson and Jason Day are the two big guns who have added NOLA to their schedule this year. Both have won two of the biggest tournaments from the first quarter of the schedule -- Torrey Pines and Doral. Both are considered two of the top talents in the world, ranked inside the top 10 and known for demolishing the ball off the tee. So their commitment definitely adds a bit of juice to the tournament. In addition to DJ and Day, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Billy Horschel and Keegan Bradley will also headline the field. That’s a pretty solid group of players from this ascendant generation.

With a WGC and the Players upcoming, the Zurich Classic isn’t going to get the comprehensive coverage from the network partners. The Masters means the end of NBC’s stretch on the schedule and the return of CBS, which will again split duties with Golf Channel on the weekend. Golf Channel will have sole coverage of the first two rounds, and then have their customary early coverage on the weekend before handing things off to CBS. There’s also that annoying half-hour blackout period while graphics and talent are switched in on the weekend. This isn’t an issue when NBC has coverage because it’s a Comcast sister of Golf Channel. But with CBS, that blackout always seems to occur when there’s movement on the leaderboard and the last groups are out starting their final rounds.

The streaming options are just as slim and simple as the network offerings. There are no PGATour.com featured groups or featured holes streams in the morning each day this week. You’ll have to wait until the afternoon if you want to watch online, when a simulcast of the TV coverage will be up and running for each round. All the expanded streams, widened TV coverage windows, and bells and whistles will come out the next two weeks for the Match Play and the game’s “fifth major” at TPC Sawgrass.
