Formerly known as the Reno-Tahoe Open, the Barracuda Championship offers those not taking part in the elite, exclusive WGC-Bridgestone Invitational a chance to gain ground in the race for the FedEx Cup playoffs.

What makes this event unique is the modified Stableford scoring format, which rewards actual points for lower scores and subtracts points for bogeys or worse. Montreux Golf and Country Club in Reno, Nevada, should therefore provide some serious drama.

There may be only 300 FedEx Cup points on the line and a modest purse, but the reason reigning champion Gary Woodland isn't playing here this week is that he's teeing it up in Akron with the world's best. That shows how this tournament can serve as a springboard for players seeking a PGA Tour breakthrough.

Woodland weighed in on how the tournament creates a certain level of excitement, as big numbers aren't so penal, per PGATour.com:

It's fun. It's nice to change it up. You get kind of the same thing week in and week out. It's nice to have a change. I think this is a great golf course for it. With the conditions playing how they are with the wind, it allows you to still be aggressive and not have to worry about losing too much ground.

Several past major winners are in action in Reno seeking to regain their form, so they will be among the top players to watch for the first two rounds.

Here is a look at the basic information for what should be an underrated tournament that fosters extremely close competition and excitement outside the World Golf Championship theatre.
