The Zurich Classic is in better shape than ever. Rarely does an event under promise and overdeliver. But this year's Zurich certainly did, exceeding expectations in every way — attendance, TV ratings, sales numbers, star power. The tournament set daily attendance records on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when the crowd topped 36,000 and produced unprecedented six-figure concession sales, tournament officials said. “It’s been an incredible week,” said Steve Worthy, the CEO of the Fore!Kids Foundation, which operates the tournament for the PGA Tour. “The reviews, everything we’re hearing from everybody is so positive. I think that word will travel and certainly we hope to continue building on the good fields we’ve had.”

A long-term commitment from Zurich as the title sponsor beyond 2026 will be important to the tournament’s future health. But all signs point to a long-term agreement between the sides, continuing a mutually beneficial relationship that’s prospered for two decades. “I feel good about the future,” Worthy said. “I feel like we’re in a good spot. And the tournament just gets bigger and better every year. I feel like Zurich will walk away very happy with where things are this week, and when decisions are made about where the future goes, I think we’ll be well positioned.”
