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.”
