CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Nick Hardy is set to tee off in Truckee, Calif., where he will headline the week for former Illini golfers at the Barracuda Championship.

Hardy, coming off a T59 finish last week at the ISCO Championship, returns to the Tahoe Mountain Club for his fourth career start at the Barracuda Championship. The event uses the Modified Stableford scoring format. Hardy posted his best finish in the event in 2022 when he recorded a T13 finish with a final score of +27.

Brian Campbell will once again have company at the Korn Ferry Tour's Price Cutter Charity Championship in the form of rookie Timmy Crawford. Campbell, currently No. 8 on the Korn Ferry Tour points list, added another stellar finish to his 2024 resume with his second runner-up of the season at The Ascendant.

Crawford, making his Korn Ferry Tour debut, was close behind Campbell. After Monday Qualifying for the event and making the cut, Crawford recorded only the fifth hole-in-one on a Par 4 in tour history in Round 3. He finished two shots behind Campbell in a tie for fifth, earning another start this weekend at Highland Springs Country Club in Springfield, Miss.

Tommy Kuhl and Piercen Hunt will tee off again this week at PGA TOUR America's Bromont Open held at Golf Chateau-Bromont in Quebec, Canada. It marks Kuhl's 10th start of the season and Hunt's fourth.
