LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The PGA TOUR's annual stop in the commonwealth is set to have a new home.
Located 11 miles east of downtown Louisville, the ISCO Championship will be played at Hurstbourne Country Club beginning in 2025, organizers announced July 23. Golf Digest has ranked the course among Kentucky's five best since 2011.
"The ISCO Championship shines a global spotlight on Kentucky's unique golf landscape, highlighted by world-class courses, significant junior and collegiate programs and a deep-rooted love for the game," said Tyler Dennis, PGA TOUR chief competitions officer. "By bringing the tournament to Hurstbourne Country Club, we are showcasing yet another premier Kentucky golf venue on the world stage."
Representatives for the PGA TOUR and ISCO Championship said Kentucky is emerging as a significant hub for professional golf, as the state's courses offer a blend of sports and local culture appealing to both golf enthusiasts and casual fans.
"The ISCO Championship is a chance for the world to celebrate Kentucky's culture, boost our local economies and provide a unique entertainment experience for our people," said Gov. Andy Beshear, D-Ky. "This event underscores Kentucky's growing influence in professional sports and provides an opportunity for Kentucky to once again be at center stage."
ISCO's sponsorship of the event represents its long-standing support of Kentucky golf, representatives added, as ISCO Industries has been a key player in enhancing the sport's popularity in the commonwealth.
"Attending the ISCO Championship is not just about seeing world-class professional golf; it is a must-attend event for the overall experience it offers," said ISCO Industries Chairman and CEO Jimmy Kirchdorfer. "It's an electric and energizing atmosphere where world-class golfers showcase their skills amid a breathtaking course. ISCO Industries is honored to sponsor Kentucky's PGA TOUR event, and we look forward to welcoming golf fans from around the world to the 2025 ISCO Championship at Hurstbourne Country Club."
The tournament carries a $4 million purse, and 300 FedEx Cup points are awarded to the champion. Harry Hall of England won the 2024 event at Champions at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky, just outside of Lexington, securing his first PGA TOUR victory.
