Won it more than once
Two players have taken the Barracuda Championship at least twice
| PLAYER | WINS | YEARS | PAID FOR THOSE WINS |

| J.J. Henry | 2 | 2015, 2012 | $1,098,000 |
| Vaughn Taylor | 2 | 2005, 2004 | $1,080,000 |
The last column is the sum of the cheques we hold for exactly the years beside it, and nothing else. It is not a career total: what these players earned across the rest of their seasons is on their own pages.
