This PGA Tour event has a new home in Kentucky

The 2025 ISCO Championship is heading down the road.

The 2025 ISCO Championship is heading down the road.

After being held at Keene Trace Golf Club, just outside of Lexington, for the past six years, the PGA Tour event is moving to Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, the PGA announced Tuesday. Harry Hall hoisted his first PGA Tour trophy by winning a five-man playoff at the ISCO Championship on July 14.

“Every year, we’re going to make improvements to elevate this event,” said ISCO chairman and CEO Jimmy Kirchdorfer. “… This club will showcase very well on TV. The players are going to love it.”

The tournament is a FedEx Cup event and debuted on the PGA Tour schedule in 2015. For the first few years, it was played at Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National in Auburn/Opelika, Alabama, before moving to the Bluegrass State.

The location switch is the second announced change for the tournament over the past two months. On June 5, ISCO was announced as the title sponsor through 2027. ISCO, a Louisville-based company, is a “total piping solutions supplier” that sells “a wide variety of HDPE piping materials and solutions for various applications worldwide,” according to its website.

Louisville hosted the PGA Championship in May at Valhalla Golf Club. Xander Schauffele won the major. That weekend became bigger than golf when a vendor employee was killed by a shuttle bus ahead of the second round of the tournament. Hours later, top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler was arrested, detained and released by Louisville Metro Police. Scheffler later called the incident, in which he tried to enter Valhalla shortly after the fatal accident to compete in the PGA Championship, “a big misunderstanding.”

Harry Hall gets first PGA Tour win at 2024 ISCO Championship via 5-way playoff

What a way to get your first win.

Talk about a clutch moment worth the wait.

Harry Hall picked up his first PGA Tour victory late Sunday night when he chipped in for birdie on the third playoff hole to win the 2024 ISCO Championship. Hall’s chip-in came on the par-3 ninth hole after he, Matt NeSmith and Pierceson Coody made par on the par-4 18th hole twice.

Even better for Hall, he’s set to become a dad next week.

Initially, it was a five-man playoff with Rico Hoey and Zac Blair involved, but the duo bogeyed the first playoff hole and knocked them out.

The fivesome all finished at 22 under par for the week, but it’s Hall walking away with the trophy.

He will not get into the Open Championship field since there weren’t any spots available, but he did win $720,000 and earn 300 FedEx Cup points.

Amateur Luke Clanton is the betting favorite(!) at the PGA Tour’s 2024 ISCO Championship

The kid is rolling.

Many of the world’s best players are across the pond this week for the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open, but there’s a field of PGA Tour players headed to Kentucky for the ISCO Championship at Keene Trace Golf Club. Arguably the biggest storyline heading into the tournament is amateur Luke Clanton, who last week became the first amateur to finish inside the top 10 in back-to-back Tour starts — T-10 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, T-2 at the John Deere Classic — since Billy Joe Patton in 1957.

Incredibly, with names like Joel Dahmen, Cameron Champ and Sam Ryder in the field, Clanton is the betting favorite to win the ISCO Championship at +900 (9/1). The next closest is Michael Thorbjornsen, another rising Tour star, at +1400 (14/1). Thorbjornsen, like Clanton, was a runner-up at TPC Deere Run last week.

Thanks to his amateur status, Clanton, a sophomore at Florida State, lost $804,776 in earnings over the last two weeks.

With most of PGA Tour’s best in Scotland, here’s a look at the field for the ISCO Championship

The purse is $4 million, and the winner will earn 300 FedEx Cup points.

New name, same tournament, same stakes.

The 2024 ISCO Championship is set to begin Thursday from Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky. The event is co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour and is the opposite-field event from the Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club.

Vincent Norrman picked up his first PGA Tour victory last year in the former Barbasol Championship, beating Nathan Kimsey in a playoff.

This year, there are numerous past PGA Tour winners in the field, as well as Michael Thorbjornsen, who finished No. 1 in the PGA Tour University standings for 2024, and Luke Clanton, the amateur who has made the cut each of the past two weeks on Tour.

The purse is $4 million, and the winner will earn 300 FedEx Cup points. Also up for grabs is a spot in the Open Championship to the highest-finishing golfer who isn’t already exempt.
