Barracuda Championship 2025 power rankings: Max Homa not among the top picks

The Barracuda Championship 2025 is set to tee off on Thursday, July 17, at Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Course near Truckee, California. The event, taking place opposite The Open Championship, will feature a stacked 156-player field competing for the $4,000,000 purse on offer. The field is headlined by Emiliano Grillo and Max Homa, among others.

For the unversed, the Barracuda Championship is a PGA Tour and DP World Tour co-sanctioned event like last week’s ISCO Championship. Owing to this, the event will have over 50 DP World Tour members teeing up in California. Despite this, PGA Tour star Max Homa comes in as the popular name. However, he sits seventh on the PGAT power rankings.

The World No.101 golfer enters the weekend on the back of a T5 at the John Deere Classic after failing to qualify for The Open Championship. The six-time PGA Tour winner will be eyeing his first win since the Farmers Insurance Open in January 2023. However, his PGA rival Emiliano Grillo starts the contest as the outright favorite for many. The Argentinian, who recorded an impressive second place at John Deere, tops the power ranking.

Vince Whaley only managed a T33 at John Deere but followed it up with a T4 finish at the ISCO Championship. Notably, the 30-year-old came close to his maiden PGA Tour victory at Old Greenwood last year. However, he fell short of Nick Dunlap. Meanwhile, Cameron Champ, who finished T14 last weekend, sits third on the power rankings top-10 list.

Notably, the Barracuda Championship defending champion, Nick Dunlap, is not in the PGA Tour power rankings top 10. The two-time PGA winner will come in as a longshot favorite.
