ISCO Championship

The ISCO Championship is a professional golf tournament in Kentucky on the PGA Tour; it debuted in 2015 as the Barbasol Championship, an alternate event to the Scottish Open in July. The first three editions of the tournament were played in Alabama at the Grand National course of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Opelika, northeast of Auburn.^[1] It was the first PGA Tour event played in Alabama since the PGA Championship in 1990.

In 2018, the tournament moved to Kentucky to the Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, south of Lexington, and was the first PGA Tour event (excluding majors) in the state in 59 years, since the Kentucky Derby Open in 1959.^[2] (Valhalla Golf Club near Louisville has hosted four PGA Championships (1996, 2000, 2014, 2024)). In 2025, the tournament moved to Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville.^[3]

Like other alternate events, the winner of the tournament does not earn an invitation to the Masters, but still receives a two-year PGA Tour exemption and a trip to the next PGA Championship.

In August 2021, it was announced that from 2022 onward, the event would become a co-sanctioned event with the European Tour, played the same week as an alternate event to the Scottish Open.^[4] It would also be an event that would give the leading non-exempt golfer entry into The Open Championship.

In its first year as the ISCO Championship, the 2024 edition set the record for the lowest 36-hole cut at a PGA Tour event at eight under par.
