Olympic medalists sign up for new PGA Tour team event
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Olympic gold and silver medalists Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson were among the first to sign up for the PGA Tour’s first team event since 1981.
The Zurich Classic outside New Orleans will feature 80 two-man teams, and both players will receive credit for an official victory, the tour said Monday.
Rose outlasted Stenson in the final round at Rio to capture the gold medal. They also have gone 4-2 as partners in the last two Ryder Cups.
