Four golfers earn spots in the ISCO Championship
Four PGA Tour Golfer Get Good News on Monday Before the ISCO Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The 2025 ISCO Championship is just days away, and Louisville is buzzing with excitement. From July 10-13, the PGA Tour event will make its debut at Hurstbourne Country Club, marking the first time the city hosts the tournament. And for four golfers, Monday brought even more reason to celebrate they’ve officially earned their spots through open qualifiers.
Drew Doyle led the pack with a stellar round of 64. Joining him in the field are Carson Johnson, Cooper Musselman, and Michael Balcar, who each carded a 66. For Doyle, the appearance is extra special. He’s the younger brother of Brendon Doyle, who received a sponsor exemption for this year’s tournament, setting up a unique family storyline on the course.
Originally added to the PGA Tour schedule in 2015, the ISCO Championship has grown into a notable FedEx Cup event with a $4 million purse and 300 points up for grabs. It was first played at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama before moving to Kentucky, where it spent six years at Keene Trace Golf Club near Lexington. Now, Hurstbourne Country Club takes center stage.

With fresh faces in the field and a new venue, the 2025 ISCO Championship promises a memorable week in the Bluegrass State.
