Get Your Clubs Ready for the 26th Annual Barracuda Championship!
Calling all golf enthusiasts and fun-seekers in the Sierra Nevada! The 26th annual Barracuda Championship tees off this July 15-21, promising a week of world-class competition, scenic beauty, and family-friendly entertainment. This PGA TOUR event, held at Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood course in Truckee, California, is a unique opportunity to witness elite golfers battle it out in the Modified Stableford format, where birdies and eagles are king!
Tee Up for Excitement: The Modified Stableford Format
Unlike traditional stroke play, the Barracuda Championship uses a Modified Stableford format. In this high-octane scoring system, points are awarded based on the number of strokes taken per hole. Good shots earn points, while bad ones deduct them. The goal? Rack up the most points! This format encourages aggressive play, making every shot potentially game-changing. Think birdies raining down and eagles soaring through the air!
Beyond the Green: Fun for Everyone
The Barracuda Championship isn’t just for golf fanatics. The scenic Tahoe National Forest provides a stunning backdrop for the entire event. The week kicks off with community events and pro-am tournaments, culminating in four exciting days of professional competition. Whether you’re cheering on your favorite golfer, enjoying delicious food and drinks, or simply soaking up the mountain air, there’s something for everyone at Old Greenwood.
