The Barclays golf tournament has a rich history, starting life as the Westchester Classic in 1967 at the Westchester Country Club in Rye, New York. Various sponsors followed from 1976 until the first Barclays Classic in 2005. Two years later, The Barclays as we know it today was born when it became the first Playoff event in the FedExCup.

Designed by Donald J Ross in 1916 and completed in 1921, Plainfield Country Club’s majestic, top-ranked course (dubbed the 'Green Monster') presents a test of both skill and character. What's more, families and golf lovers alike have long revered Plainfield’s welcoming environment, beautiful setting and exceptional facilities.

Since its founding in 1890 as the Hillside Tennis Club, Plainfield has experienced tremendous growth, going on to host two US National Championships. The past 10 years have seen the Club undergo an extensive renovation program involving the removal of over 1,200 trees, the rediscovery of a number of lost bunkers, the expansion of 16 greens, and the lengthening of 12 tees to reflect modern equipment and skills.

The winner will walk away with $1,350,000 out of a total prize fund of $8,000,000.
