Payday in Truckee
Here's the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2021 Barracuda Championship
Christian Petersen
For sixth straight year, the winner of the Barracuda Championship has made the victory his first on the PGA Tour. South Africa's Erik van Rooyen charged from four points back over 54-hole leader Adam Schenk to claim his maiden tour win at Tahoe Mountain Club in Truckee, Calif.
Van Rooyan, 31, did exactly what you have to do in a tournament that uses a Modified Stableford scoring format: he stayed agressive, making six birdies and an eagle, offset by one lone bogey for a +16 final-round score to reach +50 for the tournament.
Van Rooyan’s best finish in 40 previous tour starts was a third-place showing at the 2020 WGC-Mexico Championship, one of just four career top-10 finishes before Sunday.
The victory also gave van Rooyen the biggest payday of his tour career. The Barracuda winner earned a prize money payout of $630,000 from a purse of $3.5 million. Van Rooyen made $600,000 for this Mexico performance.
