This Week: The Barclays

Monday August 20, 2007
It's the first week of the FedEx Cup "playoffs," the four-tournament stretch that culminates in the Tour Championship and closes the FedEx Cup season. Week 1 of the "playoffs" takes us to Westchester Country Club in New York for The Barclays. Tiger Woods isn't playing this week, but almost every other big name is.

One name you might not recognize, however, is "The Barclays." That's because this is the first year this tournament has carried that name. From 1990 though last year it was known as the Buick Classic. This tournament debuted in 1967 and Jack Nicklaus was its first champion.

Check out The Barclays profile to learn more about the tournament, including all its past champions.
