Barracuda Championship 2025 Brings High Stakes and Big Dreams to Tahoe
The Barracuda Championship 2025 is lighting up the golf world this week, and the energy in Truckee, California is electric. Taking place at the stunning Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood course, this PGA TOUR event continues to offer players a unique test with the Modified Stableford scoring format — a setup that rewards aggressive play. And let’s talk money: the stakes are high with a $4 million purse on the line, and the winner walks away with a cool $720,000.
This isn’t just another tour stop — it’s a golden opportunity for emerging players and seasoned pros alike to boost their rankings, earn crucial FedExCup points, and secure major bragging rights. For some, like Colorado native Chris Korte, this week marks a major moment. Korte Monday-qualified his way into the field with an impressive 6-under 65 — his fourth PGA TOUR start via Monday qualifying in just 10 months. After just missing out at last week's Korn Ferry Tour event, this could be his chance to truly break through on the big stage.

Also joining the field are twin brothers Jeremy and Yannik Paul, both standout golfers with strong Colorado ties, plus familiar names like Max Homa, Patrick Rodgers, and Cameron Champ. In fact, NSN Tonight is giving us special player interviews all week, adding a personal look into what this championship means to those teeing it up.
But beyond the names and storylines, let’s not forget what’s truly at stake. Just finishing in the top 10 means a six-figure payout. For example, second place takes home $436,000, third earns $276,000, and even the 10th spot nets $180,400. It’s not just about the win — every position matters here, both for financial reasons and career trajectory.
So whether you're a diehard golf fan or just love an underdog story, the Barracuda Championship is delivering on all fronts. Drama, big money, rising stars — it’s all happening in the cool mountain air of Tahoe. Keep your eyes on the leaderboard. This one’s going to be unforgettable.
