How To Watch Barbasol Championship live stream 2023
The Barbasol Championship may be overshadowed by the top golfers playing in the Scottish Open, but it has consistently provided tight finishes and exciting drama.
To make sure you miss none of the action, below are all the streaming and broadcast details on how to watch a Barbasol Championship live stream from wherever you are, as well as today's tee times.
The Barbasol Championship, which debuted on the PGA Tour eight years ago, has always played second fiddle to a tournament being played in the United Kingdom at the same time. Originally it was up against The Open Championship; now it is the Genesis Scottish Open.
Like the Scottish Open, the Barbasol Championship is a co-sanctioned event with the DP World Tour. But it is the poor relation – quite literally, as its purse is $3,800,000 compared with $9,000,000 up for grabs in Scotland. The best players on each tour, if they are playing this week, are doing so in Scotland.
The highest-ranked player to win the Barbasol Championship since it moved to Kentucky was Seamus Power, who was ranked 220th at the time. Jim Herman won in 2018 when he stood at 1,252nd in the rankings. (Victory took him to 269th.) Trey Mullinax was 370th when he won last year. He is not defending his title.
The highest-ranked player in this year’s field is Lucas Glover, world number 112 and 2009 US Open champion. He has missed 10 of 25 cuts this season, but in the past two weeks has finished tied fourth at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and tied sixth at the John Deere Classic.
Since 2018, the tournament has been played on the Champions Course at Keene Trace in Kentucky. Its generous fairways and large greens provide ample opportunities for low scoring, and the winning scores have been between -21 and -26. But the course has also provided tight, dramatic finishes – all four of the Barbasol Championships held here have by won either by a single stroke or after a playoff.
