The 2024 Barracuda Championship will be held on Thursday, July 18, at the Tahoe Mountain Club in Truckee, California. This event will be held at the same time as the Open Championship in Scotland, so many of the best golfers have already made their way to that event. Currently, Kevin Mitchell leads the field with a moneyline of +1600.
The Barracuda Championship will span nearly 7,490 yards and will need a high-scoring output to contend for the title at this Par 71 event. Some golfers are returning to this event from previous years, while others are trying for the first time.
This event uses a modified Stableford, which means golfers are rewarded points based on their performance on each hole. Check out the scoring below:
Golfers who can make many birdie putts or better will thrive here. Last year, Akshay Bhatia won this event with a +40.
Despite this being a weaker field than the Open Championship, there is still much to like here. Below are several contenders who could make some noise at this event.
Kim has some solid momentum heading into this event. He is coming off a few strokes from the lead at the ISCO Championship and even had a 12th-place finish at the John Deere Classic earlier this year. His game could provide an opportunity down the stretch.
Rodgers could prove to be worth every penny if you bet on him. He finished second at this event last season and has crucial knowledge and experience of this event over others. His latest event was a T34 at the John Deere Classic, so he had solid form heading into this.
Mitchell has had a solid campaign this season, with three top-10 performances. He is coming off a missed cut at the Scottish Open but had a T18 at the John Deere Classic before that. He should perform better here, but taking him as the favorite might not be the best bet.
The soon-to-be PGA Tour event will showcase betting odds by MyBookie. Several popular players will be the face of the Barracuda Championship. Keith Mitchell makes a compelling case as the front runner in odds.
Thorbjornsen may have missed the cut at the ISCO Championship, but he had solid momentum before that at the John Deere Classic with a runner-up. He finished that event with a -24, which shows he can score high and replicate that here.
