Zurich Classic moves up Sunday tee times due to weather
Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports
The Zurich Classic hasn't been very lucky with the weather in recent years - in 2016, the event was shortened to a 54-hole tournament.
With inclement weather expected to hit the New Orleans area Sunday afternoon, officials for the tournament decided to move up Sunday's tee times in hopes of avoiding a Monday finish (as long as Round 3 isn't interrupted Saturday).
Provided R3 ends as scheduled Saturday, @Zurich_Classic R4 tee times approx. 6:40-8:20 a.m. due to expected inclement weather. #pgatour

Those times are in CT, so that means Sunday's new tee times will be around 7:40-9:20 a.m. ET.
The two-man teams will play four-ball in the final round, and will go off split tees.
