Barclays Golf History

The Barclays golf competition started in 1967 under the name of the Westchester Classic. Since 1976, it has been renamed several times due to the change of the main sponsor. Beginning in 2007, the tournament's name became The Barclays, and The Barclays became one of the four "playoff tournaments" of the FedEx Cup series. 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.

Plainfield Country Club

Since the 1890, Plainfield Country Club (renamed in 1904 from the Hillside Tennis Club) has experienced tremendous growth, a sporting tradition that has brought prominence throughout the State and entire Metropolitan area.

"It's been an awesome year," Kuchar said. "I knew it was a matter of time. It was one of those things that I knew if I put myself in contention enough times I was going to break through."

Laird, who shot a final-round 71, let victory slip from his hands when he three-putted from 23 feet on the final hole in regulation to fall into the playoff. Still, he jumped from 95th to third in the FedExCup race and most likely secured a spot in The Tour Championship in Atlanta, the final event of the playoffs.

A decade-long renovation of the course—originally designed by Scottish legend Donald Ross—already was underway. Approximately 1,500 trees that weren't in the initial layout were removed; greens and fairways were restored to their original designs; and bunkers that were covered over during the Great Depression and World War II to save on maintenance costs were uncovered or re-created using old photos and maps. For the tournament, the work was on a tight schedule, and a few new elements were added, with several holes lengthened and the closing hole redesigned.

2011 Barclays Playoffs Winner

Dustin Johnson wrapped up the trivial pursuits at Plainfield Country to win The Barclays Championship. He collected a first prize of $1.44 million to go top of the FedExCup rankings and up to World No.4. But, crucially, it also meant he was last to the leave the course in the dash to get out of town. Johnson fired a third, and final, round six under par 65 to finish the reduced to 54-holes event at 19 under par, two shots clear of overnight leader Matt Kuchar with Brant Snedeker and Vijay Singh tied third at 16 under par. World No.1 Luke Donald was 11 under par and Phil Mickelson was eight under par in a bizarre day of threeballs, split tees.

2010 Barclays Playoffs Winner

Kuchar, one of the most affable players on the PGA Tour who flashes a grin about as often as he hits a shot during a round of golf, made birdie on the first playoff hole Sunday to topple Martin Lairdand win The Barclays, the first of four postseason events in the FedExCup playoffs. Kuchar, who took over the top spot in the FedExCup race for the $10 million grand prize, knocked his second shot out of heavy rough from 190 yards on Ridgewood Country Club's 18th hole to just 2 feet and knocked in the winning putt. He shot 5-under-par 66 to finish at 12 under and won for the third time on Tour. It was his 10th top-10 in 22 starts this season. "It's been an awesome year," Kuchar said. "I knew it was a matter of time. It was one of those things that I knew if I put myself in contention enough times I was going to break through."

Laird, who shot a final-round 71, let victory slip from his hands when he three-putted from 23 feet on the final hole in regulation to fall into the playoff. Still, he jumped from 95th to third in the FedExCup race and most likely secured a spot in The Tour Championship in Atlanta, the final event of the playoffs.

2009 Barclays Playoffs Winner

Heath Slocum rolled in a 20-foot par putt on the final hole to remain at 9-under, which gave him the one-stroke victory over Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington and Steve Stricker. Slocum's winning total was 275.
