The FedEx Cup playoffs begin this week with the new-look Barclays kicking things off.
Mighty Bethpage Black, a 7,468-yard par-71, replaces Plainfield Country Club, where world No. 1 Jason Day claimed the title last season. Bethpage is known best for hosting the U.S. Open, including Tiger Woods' victory in 2002 and Lucas Glover in 2009. Nick Watney won the Barclays debut in 2012.
Golf legend Sam Snead famously called Bethpage "an unfair test" after beating Byron Nelson in a 1940 exhibition. While the course presents a long, tough test for PGA Tour pros, modern technology has all but eliminated courses being too tough.
