Barracuda Championship 2024: Purse Breakdown
Akshay Bhatia earned $684,000 for winning the 2023 Barracuda Championship. This was his first career PGA Tour victory in his 36th start as a professional. Bhatia defeated Patrick Rodgers in a sudden-death playoff after the two players tied with 40 points under the tournament’s Modified Stableford scoring system. Rodgers finished second, earning $414,200. However, Bhatia will not defend his title this year, since he is participating in the 152nd Open Championship.
Julien Guerrier and Jens Dantorp finished third, both taking home $224,200. Ryan Gerard finished fifth and earned $180,650. The Barracuda Championship had a total prize fund of $3.8 million. Bhatia’s $684,000 first-place award was the greatest portion of the money.
This is Bhatia’s second PGA Tour triumph, having previously won the Valero Texas Open in a playoff earlier in the 2024 season. The Barracuda Championship victory also guaranteed Bhatia’s PGA Tour status through the 2025 season.
