It seemed like Akshay Bhatia was primed to break through on the PGA Tour and Sunday evening, he finally did.
Bhatia claimed the 2023 Barracuda Championship, the final opposite-field event of the PGA Tour season, in a playoff. The tournament is the only one on Tour to use the Modified Stableford scoring system, so the more points the better in this event.
The first-place check at Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood course in Truckee, California, was $684,000.
Take a closer look at the full prize money payouts from the 2023 Barracuda Championship.
