Stunning Performances at Tahoe Mountain Club

The final round of the 2025 Barracuda Championship, held at Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Golf Course in Truckee, California, delivered an electrifying conclusion to the tournament. Utilizing the unique Modified Stableford scoring system, where points are awarded based on performance per hole rather than total strokes, the event showcased remarkable skill and strategy. Ryan Gerard emerged as the champion, securing his first PGA Tour title with an impressive 47 points, finishing three points ahead of his closest competitor.

Ryan Gerard’s Path to Victory

His round featured two significant seven-point bursts with birdie-eagle combinations, as highlighted around the midway point of the PGA TOUR video coverage. Despite facing challenges with five bogeys during the round, Gerard’s ability to recover and capitalize on key opportunities, especially with birdies in two of his last three holes as shown near the end of the footage, secured his victory and a $720,000 prize from the $4 million purse.

Unique Format and Venue Challenges

The Barracuda Championship’s Modified Stableford format added an extra layer of intrigue to the final round, encouraging aggressive play as golfers aimed to maximize points with birdies and eagles while minimizing losses from bogeys. The Old Greenwood Golf Course, situated at nearly 6,000 feet above sea level, further influenced gameplay, with shots traveling 10-15 percent farther due to the elevation. This unique combination of format and venue tested the adaptability of all competitors, making each hole a critical opportunity to gain or lose ground in the standings, as seen in various clips throughout the video.
