By Chad Winch
In 2019, the Barstool Classic burst onto the golf scene with a mission to create an unparalleled experience for amateur golfers, blending competition, camaraderie, and fun like never before. Now, in its sixth season, the Barstool Classic returns in 2024 with a promise to be bigger and better than ever.
The tournament format remains true to its roots, featuring teams of two competing in four-ball stroke play at 50% handicap. Each player contributes to their team's score, with the best score on each hole determining the team's overall performance. With the top four team net scores from each qualifier advancing to the Championship, the stakes are higher than ever for participants.
To be eligible for advancement and prizes, all players must have a Handicap Index calculated by the USGA and distributed through the Allied Golf Associations (AGAs).
Whether obtained through a handicap card, golf club, or online platform like Golf Net or US Handicap, compliance with USGA regulations is essential. Additionally, participants must be 21 or older at the time of their qualifier.
The tournament registration fee covers a comprehensive package, including 18 holes of golf, breakfast, lunch, drinks, a tee gift, prizes, and more. For teams that advance to the Championship, the opportunity to compete for the coveted Commissioner's Cup awaits, with the victors not only earning bragging rights but also a $10,000 prize.
As with any prestigious event, the Barstool Classic adheres to official rules to ensure fair play and integrity. The tournament operates under the USGA rules of golf, with specific guidelines for the format and participant eligibility in which local rules are defined before each competition.
