Hunter Mahan is defending champion of The Barclays, which dates to 1967 as the Westchester Classic in a New York City suburb. Starting in 2007, the tournament took on its current name and switched dates from June to late August. Beginning in 2008 it has been rotated among different clubs in the New York metropolitan area.
