NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. — The PGA Tour is returning to Kentucky in 2024.
Formerly known as the Barbasol Championship, the Kentucky Championship will take place July 8-14 at Champions at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky, just outside of Lexington. Players from both the PGA Tour and DP World Tour will compete for benefits.
An official FedEx Cup event on the PGA Tour schedule, the first Kentucky Championship took place in 2015 in Alabama before moving to Nicholasville in 2018. The event will feature a field of 156 players vying for a $4 million prize, including 50 from the DP World Tour as part of its strategic alliance with the PGA Tour.
The winner will also be exempt from both tours through 2026 (through 2025 on PGA Tour for non-members), receive 300 FedExCup points and 500 Race to Dubai ranking points. 2023 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year nominee Vincent Norrman of Sweden won last year's event.
According to the Kentucky Championship, more information about the event will soon be available, such as social media channels, volunteer opportunities and tournament staff and partnerships. The PGA Tour's complete 2024 schedule can be found on its website.
