The Barclays History and Past Winners
The Barclays currently is the first leg of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoff Series. Held this year at the Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey, the tournament is open to the top 125 FedEx Cup points leaders following the Wyndham Championship the previous week. Following this tournament, the new points are allocated (five times that of a regular tournament) and the new top 100 will go on to round two at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
The tournament moves to the Plainfield, New Jersey, Country Club in 2011, and may return to its original home in Westchester New York in 2012.
The Barclays began in 1967 as the Westchester Classic. It was held at the Westchester Country Club in Rye, New York from 1967 to 2007. The site was so well known that even as the sponsors changed, it was just known as “The Westchester.”
The Westchester’s traditional spot was either the week before (even years) or the week after (odd years) the US Open. It was relocated on the calendar in 2007 in the great FedEx Cup shakeup.
Vijay Singh has won the event four times.
