Our resident betting expert picks out his top Barracuda Championship betting tips ahead of the PGA Tour event.

With all eyes will understandably glued to Royal Portrush for the Open Championship this week, it’s easy to forget about the uniquely formatted event teeing off over in California.

The Barracuda Championship is the only event on the PGA Tour calendar that uses a Modified Stableford scoring system to determine its winner. The format encourages aggressive play, awarding the following points for hole scores: Double Eagle: 8 pts; Eagle: 5; Birdie: 2; Par: 0; Bogey: -1; Double Bogey or worse: -3.

Nick Dunlap topped the pile last time around, registering a second PGA Tour win, his first since turning professional, with a score of 49 points.

So, could there be some hidden value at this fifth and final opposite-field event?

I think so! But before all that, here’s everything else you need to know…
