PGA Tour's ISCO Championship is moving to Louisville; 'A big deal to our city'

The Hurstbourne Country Club will host the ISCO Championship starting next summer.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After Louisville hosted the 2024 PGA Championship in May, another event on the PGA Tour is moving to the River City. 

Starting in July 2025, the ISCO Championship will be hosted at the Hurstbourne Country Club. It will stay there until 2027, officials announced on Tuesday.

The championship has previously been held at Keene Trace Golf Club, just outside of Lexington, since 2018.

ISCO Industries CEO Jimmy Kirchdorfer said Hurstbourne's club has great staff and a beautiful course to test PGA Tour players.

"People will be coming to Kentucky from all over the world, tour players and visitors, there'll be media from all over the world to see what's happening in our state," Kirchdorfer said. "For us to host a PGA Tour event on an annual basis is a big deal to our city."

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said the city welcomed more than 200,000 people to the 2024 PGA Championship.

"We've got great momentum going on right now here in Louisville, there is so much going on across the entire city -- and golf is part of what's leading that," he said. "We are so excited to roll out the red carpet for the PGA Tour just as we did for the PGA of America earlier this year."

According to the PGA, the tournament carries a $4 million purse and awards 300 FedExCup points to the winner.
