The Barracuda Championship is the only tournament on the PGA TOUR offering the Modified Stableford playing format. This exciting format rewards players with higher scores and encourages the professionals to shoot for the pin, creating more excitement for spectators. Rather than using traditional stroke play, this format assigns points for number of strokes taken with par being zero points, birdie being 2 points and a bogey being -1 and on from there. Players compete for a $3.5 million purse and 350 FedExCup points, so you will see them play unlike they have ever played before.
