The PGA Tour Alternate Event

Another quick post, this one on the alternate event opposite THE OPEN, the Barbasol Championship.

This event is played in Kentucky and Jim Herman is the defending champ from 2019. It looks like it's going to have a pretty good field with players like Charl Schwartzel (the player highest in the OWGR who didn't make THE OPEN), Luke List, Sam Ryder, Tom Lewis and Patrick Rogers.

Why should you be interested in this event with THE OPEN going on? Because after this week there are only four events left before the FedExCup Playoffs and the Korn Ferry Tour Playoffs, and they affect some other domestic and international qualifying criteria as well. There is a lot on the line for many of these players and not much time left to get the job done.
