How To Watch a Barracuda Championship live stream 2023
When so much club golf is played as Stableford competitions, it might strike some as odd that so very few professional events use this scoring method. If nothing else, it would add a bit of a variety to the tour calendar, as well as making that tour event more relatable to your average club player. However, hurrah for the Barracuda Championship as it bucks the trend, albeit using a modified Stableford system.
To make sure you miss none of the action, below are all the streaming and broadcast details on how to watch a Barracuda Championship live stream from wherever you are, as well as today’s tee times.
As with last week’s Barbasol Championship, the Barracuda Championship is co-sanctioned by the PGA and DP World Tours. But this event is played to a modified Stableford format whereby points are awarded as follows on each hole:
• Albatross (Double Eagle): 8 points
• Eagle: 5 points
• Birdie: 2 points
• Par: 0 points
• Bogey: -1 point
• Double Bogey or worse: -3 points
The winner is the one who gets most points. It is designed to encourage players to ‘go for it’. For example, with a birdie worth twice as more positive points as a bogey is negative points, players are incentivised to play attacking golf. That 50-50 shot for birdie which could end up in a bogey if it fails? Well this scoring system encourages the player to risk it. Indeed, even if its 35-65 against, the rational decision would still normally be to go for it.
The Barracuda field includes five players inside the top 100 in Keith Mitchell (62), Justin Suh (71), Chez Reavie (77) JJ Spaun (86) and Mark Hubbard (91). But the tournament has a history of first-time winners.
In 2016 Greg Chalmers had his first PGA Tour win at the Barracuda Championship. It was the 386th PGA Tour event that he had played. The following year Chris Stroud was the champion, his first win on the PGA Tour, in his 290th start. Neither Chalmers nor Stroud have won again on tour, unlike the 2019 champion, for whom the Barracuda was also his first Tour victory. That year’s winner, Collin Morikawa, went on to win a Major the following season, and another one the year after that.
