Welcome
to CaddyBytes.com’s Tournament's page for
the 2011 Zurich Classic of New Orleans golf tournament. New Orleans
Louisiana has been a stop on the professional golf circuit since 1938 beginning
with the Crescent City Open which then became known as the New Orleans
Open.
Those early 'New Orlean's Opens' were played at the City Park golf club and then
at Lakewood golf club from 1963 to 1989. The venue then moved to the Jack
Nicklaus designed English Turn golf club until the new TPC Louisiana was
completed.
The Zurich Classic is being played at the Pete Dye/Steve Elkington designed TPC of Louisiana
golf club where the golf tournament was held in 2005 for the first time.
The new course was inundated by 20 feet of water by Hurricane Katrina and last
year the event went back to English Turn until returning to this venue for last
year's event.
Changes had been forth coming prior to Katrina's intervention which included
changing some tees, tweaking some holes, and shortening some others. When Katrina hit the course lost hundreds of trees though the integrity of the original design that was played in
2005 pretty much remains. There has been some new mounding added with alteration to a couple of holes including the
lay up area on the par five 18th which has also been shortened a bit.
There have been some great champions in New Orleans Classic history like
Byron Nelson, Jimmy Demaret, Billy Casper, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Jack
Nicklaus, Tom Watson, and Seve Ballesteros, and first time winner Nick Watney
won in 2008 with Jerry Kelly winning in '09'. Jason Bohn will be defending
here in 2011.
