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, Curtis Strange and the new
defending champion, Heath Slocum, 2009 winner of The Barclays. Many of
the world's current top players have won the event as well, including
two-time champions Ernie Els and Sergio Garcia, and four-time champion
Vijay Singh. 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. In 2010, The Barclays will be held
at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus New Jersey, on August 24-29.
