It’s Saturday at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which means it is finally time for a tournament tradition unlike any other.
Players have feasted on beignets, chargrilled oysters, jambalaya and all the other delicacies that make Nawlins a non-stop party.
But Saturday is for the … wait for it … wait for it … the walk-up music.
New Orleans is a city with its own soundtrack – the tournament usually coincides with the Jazz Festival, but it starts a week later this year – and you don’t have to go very far to hear live jazz in the French Quarter. Sometimes, all you have to do is stand on Bourbon Street.
