The Barracuda Championship is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour celebrated in California. Founded in 1999, it is an alternate event played usually in August. Previously held at Montrêux Golf and Country Club outside Reno, Nevada.
The tournament moved west in 2020 to Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood course in nearby Truckee, California. Until 2010, it was held in August, the same week as the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. For its first three years, it had a full field of 156 players, while the World Golf Championship event had a field of about 40.
Cuando el evento WGC se expandió a unos 80 jugadores en 2002, el campo para el Abierto de Reno-Tahoe se redujo a 132 jugadores. Con el lanzamiento de la Copa FedEx en 2007, el torneo y el evento WGC se trasladaron de finales a principios de agosto. En 2010, el Abierto de Reno-Tahoe se jugó varias semanas antes, frente al Open Championship a mediados de julio.
This lasted only one year, as it returned to early August in 2011, opposite the WGC-Bridgestone. The purse in 2022 was $3.7 million, with a winner’s share of $666,000. The Reno–Tahoe Open gained its first title sponsor for the 2008 event, the Legends at Sparks Marina.
After two years the name was returned to “Reno–Tahoe Open” in 2010. Barracuda Networks became the title sponsor in 2014. The Reno–Tahoe Open is an alternate event, which means the winner does not earn a Masters Tournament invitation.
The winner still earns 24 OWGR points, 300 FedEx Cup points, a two-year tour exemption, and entry to the PGA Championship. In August 2021, it was announced that from 2022 onward, the event would become a co-sanctioned event with the European Tour.
Event Overview – Barracuda Championship 2023 – PGA Golf Tour
One of the players to be on the lookout for at the Barracuda Championship 2023 will be Sam Bennett, who made a run at the Masters in April and is one of the top favorites this week.
He burst onto the scene as an amateur, shooting a 4-under-par opening round at the Masters in April, carding the first bogey-free round by an amateur in 30 years. Bennett also became the first amateur to be in the top 10 after three rounds at Augusta National since 1964. However, he has not finished better than T20 at his five PGA tournaments since then, including a missed cut at the Travelers Championship.
We also believe that Justin Suh, a 35-1 long shot, will make a strong run at the title. Suh is an up-and-coming star, topping the Korn Ferry Tour Points List last season before finishing tied for sixth in his debut at The Players Championship. He has only missed one cut since October, carding a top-20 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Suh is one of the best putters on the PGA Tour, ranked just outside the top 10 in strokes gained in that statistic. The 26-year-old is still undervalued due to his relative newness to el PGA Tour.
