Following on from the John Deere Classic, the PGA Tour heads to Kentucky for the Barbasol Championship at Keene Trace Golf Club in a co-sanctioned event with the DP World Tour.
With The Open just two weeks away, the world’s best players are over in Scotland, competing in the co-sanctioned Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick.
As the Barbasol is played opposite that event, the field is lacking the usual firepower of a regular PGA Tour event, with no players inside the world top 50 competing in the tournament this week.
Last year saw Trey Mullinax capture his maiden PGA Tour victory with a one-shot victory over Kevin Streelman, although the American is not in the field this week to defend his title.
Headlining the field is World No. 112, Lucas Glover. The 2009 US Open champion last won on the PGA Tour at the 2021 John Deere Classic but comes into this week off the back of consecutive top-ten finishes at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and the John Deere Classic.
Alongside him at the top of the billing is World No.113, Taylor Pendrith. The Canadian played for the international team in last year's President Cup and goes in search of his first PGA Tour title having finished T14 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
One name to keep an eye on could be 21-year-old Akshay Bhatia who earned Special Temporary Member status on the PGA Tour after a runner-up finish at the 2023 Puerto Rico Open earlier in the season. The left-hander went on to finish fourth behind Tony Finau, Jon Rahm and Brandon Wu at the Mexico Championship in April and finished T35 at the John Deere Classic last week.
The event was awarded co-sanctioned status with the DP World Tour in 2022 and, as such, this week's field features several European players including veterans Søren Kjeldsen and Andy Sullivan who have eight combined DP World Tour wins between them.
There are also four past Barbasol winners teeing it up this week including Grayson Murray who won on the Korn Ferry Tour earlier this year.
The purse is $3.8m, an increase of $100,000 on 2022. Of that, the winner will receive $684,000. Below is the prize money, payout breakdown and field for the 2023 Barbasol Championship.
