From July 15-21, the 2024 Barracuda Championship will be underway. Come out to Old Greenwood at the Tahoe Mountain Club in Truckee and watch the excitement with your whole family, whether you consider yourself a golf fan or not.
What’s Different.
The PGA Tour event is unlike similar tournaments in large part due to its scoring system. Barracuda uses the Stableford scoring method, where golfers want to earn points. “You’re going to see a lot of pluses and that’s a good thing,” says Tournament Director Chris Hoff. “It kind of incentivizes them to take a little bit more of a risk.”
The Atmosphere.
“It’s incredibly laid back and… intimate,” Hoff describes. There are less crowds than some other high profile tournaments. “We’re just in a market where we don’t have those kinds of numbers so you’re going to be able to attend the event and literally be right on the rope line watching some of the best professional golfers in the world.”
Charitable Giving.
“All of our proceeds go back to charity,” Hoff explains. Since the tournament’s inception in 1998, it has raised over $5.5 million, largely giving back to the local community.
Don't Miss.
While attending the tournament, don’t forget to stop by the autograph zones, especially if you have kids with you. Professional golfers are always looking to sign autographs and give away balls and gloves after rounds.
On the evening of Sunday, July 21, a new champion will be crowned around 6 PM.
