With much of the golf world having focussed its attention on The Open Championship at Northern Ireland’s Royal Portrush this week, we shouldn’t forget there has also been a PGA Tour event taking place at the same time.
The Barracuda Championship has featured the best players who did not qualify for the final men’s Major of the season, with Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Course hosting a unique event on the calendar.
The only PGA Tour event of the season to be decided via a modified Stableford format, each of the players involved has been aiming to follow Nick Dunlap as the latest champion of this co-sanctioned event.
Just like the 2024 version, as well as each of the other opposite-field tournaments on the schedule this term, there is a total of $4 million on the line.
Whoever reigns supreme will not only lift the trophy but claim the $720,000 winner’s check – an identical figure to the same competition 12 months ago – while the runner-up will scoop almost $450,000. Anyone who finishes inside the top-11 in California is in line for a six-figure payout.

Unlike most tournaments on the PGA Tour, opposite-event winners do not earn an exemption to The Masters. However, existing PGA Tour members can claim a two-year exemption and FedEx Cup points for winning. Should one of the DP World Tour pros win, they would be eligible for a one-year PGA Tour exemption.
Below is the complete prize money payout for the 2025 Barracuda Championship at Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Course in Truckee, California.
