Last year, The Barclays Tournament, held its breath for the upset win as Heath Slocum’s putt on the 18th allowed him to take home the prize and leave Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Steve Stricker and Padraig Harrington in the dust. Woods missed a putt enough to leave an opening for Slocum to take the 20- foot par putt one shot victory. Slocum was an unlikely winner as one could get as he was the 124th seed among 125. The competition wasn’t exactly putty in his hands as he was faced with four golfing greats.

About Barclays Golf Classic
The 2009 Tournament was played at the new impressive course, Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City, New Jersey. This year, spectators will again hold their breaths to watch if Slocum can again do an upset as The Barclays will be held in Ridgewood Country Club on August 24 to 29, 2010. Tickets are already available so it’s best to reserve them now.
The tournament was formerly known as the Westchester Classic because from its start in 1967, it was played at the Westchester Country Club in New York up to 2007. Although it has changed in sponsors since its beginning, many still refer to it by the traditional name, Westchester. By agreement, the event will return to Westchester at least once before 2012. 2008 was the first time that the event was not played in Westchester after 40 years. It has recently been changed to Barclays officially because of its major sponsor. Barclays is a financial service company that began 300 years ago and now currently employs 150,000.
The schedule revolves around the U.S. Open. It is usually played the week before during even-numbered years or a week after during odd numbered years the major tournament. The tournament was first played in August in 2007 to mark off the PGA Tour’s new playoff system for the Fedex Cup. The Barclays was also the only playoff event that Tiger Woods did not play in and had its most spectators back in 2001 when Tiger Woods participated in the event. It was disrupted though because of heavy rain shower.
Although the tournament is considered a small one at best, it is still an event of historic fete. Back in 2005, Padraig Harrington eagled the par-5 18th hole with a 65-foot putt to win the title. Small achievements like this make the event still a sight to behold despite recent years of slow progress. Tickets are readily available and will make an exciting day-out for family or friends.
The PGA Tour has already announced the next two venues for The Barclays. Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey will hold the event in 2010 and Plainfield Country Club in Edison, New Jersey will do the honors in 2011, a first time in the history of the Country Club. New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzin says this of the event, "We are fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with this event to make an impact across the state. This gives the Garden State an opportunity to showcase what we have to offer to golf fans throughout the world, and represents a substantial economic boost and a genuine commitment to charitable organizations at a time when it's needed the most." No confirmation as to the players is given but it’s sure to be an exciting, so it’s best to secure those seats by buying tickets now.
