The Beat Goes On: Horschel, Burns, and the Zurich Classic Vibe
If Billy Horschel and Sam Burns are looking for the perfect walk-up music at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans this weekend, they have a reputation to uphold. The Zurich Classic remains the only team event on the PGA TOUR schedule, and its signature “walk-up music” for the Saturday and Sunday rounds has become a fan-favorite tradition at TPC Louisiana.
A Proven New Orleans Powerhouse
This isn’t just a random pairing; it’s one of the most successful partnerships in the tournament’s team-format history. Since they first joined forces, the “SEC duo”—Horschel (Florida) and Burns (LSU)—has consistently been at the top of the leaderboard.
• 2022: They finished as solo runners-up, narrowly missing out on the title.
• 2021: They secured a T4 finish, proving their chemistry works across both Best Ball and Foursome formats.
Horschel, in particular, is a Zurich legend, being the only player to have won the event as both an individual (2013) and as part of a team (2018 with Scott Piercy).
“I Don’t Care Anymore”: The New Billy Horschel
Adding a layer of intrigue to this year’s tournament is Horschel’s recent shift in mindset. In a candid interview with Golfweek, the fiery competitor made it clear that he is done apologizing for his intensity on the course.
“If you don’t like me for some reason, I don’t care anymore.” — Billy Horschel
This “unapologetic” era of Horschel pairs perfectly with the high-energy atmosphere of New Orleans. Whether they choose a classic Garth Brooks anthem (a Sam Burns favorite) or something more defiant to match Billy’s new outlook, all eyes will be on the first tee.
