The Barclays wants to take its FedEx Cup playoff event to Bethpage Black in 2012.

A person informed of the plans told The Associated Press yesterday that Barclays and the PGA Tour are negotiating to bring the tournament to the Long Island public course that has hosted two U.S. Opens.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information, said such a deal would need approval by the New York state parks and recreation department and the tour’s policy board.
