TRUCKEE – The Barracuda Championship field, like last week’s Barbasol Championship, is comprised of players from both the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. There are 50 places available for the top players from the DP World Tour priority ranking. The Barracuda Championship winner will receive benefits on each Tour:

• FedExCup points: 300
• DP World Tour Rankings points: 710
• PGA TOUR exemption (for current PGA TOUR members): thru 2024
• PGA TOUR exemption (for non-members): thru 2022-23
• DP World Tour exemption: thru 2024

The last six winners of the Barracuda Championship were first-time PGA TOUR winners, the longest active streak on TOUR (2016/Greg Chalmers, 2017/Chris Stroud, 2018/Andrew Putnam, 2019/Collin Morikawa, 2020/Richy Werenski, 2021/Erik van Rooyen).

Four weeks remain in the FedEx Cup Regular Season, with the Barracuda Championship providing an opportunity for players to make a run towards one of the 125 spots in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Six players have qualified for the FedEx Cup Playoffs in each season since the inception in 2007, including Charley Hoffman, who is currently outside the top 125 at No. 173 in the FedEx Cup standings.
