If you’re looking for something slightly different to The Open Championship this weekend, then the Barracuda Championship could tick that box. The event on the PGA Tour will be staged this weekend at Tahoe Mountain Club, with players competing for their share of the $4 million purse.
Before Betting On Barracuda Championship
While all eyes this weekend will be on The Open Championship in Scotland, there will be unique golf action taking place back in the United States with the Barracuda Championship being staged in California. This event couldn’t be more different to the final major of the season, but it still promises to be an exciting competition with the stableford scoring system in play.
The Tahoe Mountain Club in Truckee, California, will have hosting responsibilities this weekend, and it has been staged on the same weekend as The Open since 2022. This event covers a total of 7,480 yards, with players competing for their share of the $4 million purse. Vaughn Taylor holds the tournament record, finishing 21-under with an aggregate score of 267 in 2005.
Keith Mitchell will be among the standout contenders this weekend, as he chases a second professional victory. He is currently sitting in a career-high ranking of 44 in the world, and comes into this weekend chasing a response after failing to make the cut at the Scottish Open on his previous outing.
Patrick Rodgers could hold interesting claims this weekend after finishing second following a playoff in the event last year. He comes into this weekend in strong form, and his knowledge of the course could give him an advantage over many of his rivals in California this weekend.
