By Sky Sports Golf

Henrik Stenson and Justin
Rose will get the chance to rekindle their prolific partnership when
paired alongside each other at the new-look Zurich Classic of New
Orleans.
The US PGA Tour event will receive a drastic change in format next year, with the traditional 72-hole individual stroke-play event changing to a new two-man
team event containing 160 players.The first and third rounds will consist of foursomes, with the better-ball format used for the other two days and a midway cut to the best 35 teams and ties.
"The Zurich Classic is already a special tournament for me," said Rose, who won the event ahead of Cameron Tringale in 2015. "The addition of a team format adds a new, incredibly exciting element to the event.
