The Zurich Classic is known for its format. Since it is a team event, with two players on each team, it is one of the fan-favorite tournaments on the PGA Tour. The event’s tee introduction songs on Saturdays are also an important tradition that the audience and golfers look forward to. And this year was no different. 

The Saturdays are always special at the TPC Louisiana. Each team walks up to the tee box on the third round of the tournament with their choice of music. Since it is a unique feature of the event, the audience always makes sure not to miss it.

The songs selected by the golfers for the 2022 Zurich Classic

Since it is a fun event, the golfers always try to choose songs that are enjoyable for both them and the audience.

“If you have any recommendations, we’re taking answers right now.” Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland asked for songs recommendations from the spectators at the press conference of the event. 

In the end, the pair chose ‘SandStorm’ by Darude as their song. Jay-Z’s ‘Public Service Announcement,’ Li’l Wayne’s ‘Go, DJ,’ and LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem’ were all chosen by the golfers as their walk-up music. Furthermore, John Legend’s ‘All of Me’ was also opted as a team’s music; Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson had chosen it.

South Korean golfer Seung–Yul Noh and American Michael Kim had chosen ‘Butter’ by BTS. However, since they didn’t make the cut at the Classic, they couldn’t walk up to one of the popular songs.
