The New Orleans ("sponsor name") Classic is an annual stop on the PGA tour. Now held in late April just before Jazz Fest the tournament is a popular reminder that golf is played year round in New Orleans. The tournament has been held at Lakewood, English Turn and the TPC Course  near Bayou Segnette in West Jefferson. The TPC was damaged by Katrina so in 2006 the tour returned to English Turn but will go back to the TPC next year.

Metairie Country Club is considering a berm around its golf course that would make the course a ponding facility in the event of flooding should storm surge shut down the East Jefferson pumps again.
