About the Barclays
The Barclays has been a part of the PGA TOUR schedule since 1967 when Jack Nicklaus won the inaugural event at Westchester Country Club. Since that time, some of the greatest players in the game have earned the title including World Golf Hall of Famers Arnold Palmer, Johnny Miller, Raymond Floyd, Seve Ballesteros, Hale Irwin, and Curtis Strange.  Many of the world’s current top players have won the event as well, including two-time champions Ernie Els and Sergio Garcia, four-time champion Vijay Singh and the new defending champion, Matt Kuchar, 2010 winner of The Barclays. As the first of four playoff events, The Barclays plays a leading role in the FedExCup, the season-long competition that is the centerpiece of the PGA TOUR season.  For tournament information, please visit www.thebarclaysgolf.com
