Louisville, PGA of America, First Tee make $1.1 million investment in youth golf course
Greenberg said in addition to $200,000 designated for the project in the city's budget, several stakeholders — including the PGA of America, philanthropist and community leader Jimmy Kirchdorfer, First Tee of Louisville and Louisville Parks and Recreation — will also contribute $900,000 toward revamping the facility.
Seneca's youth course will receive various enhancements, including a redesign of the layout to "optimize safety and flow," a new practice area with putting and chipping greens and an updated 10th hole to allow for larger training spaces, according to a news release.
First Tee of Louisville President Swain Beard said the initiative is about more than just the game itself.
"Our mission is to serve more than 1,700 children in our community to be a part of helping develop the future leaders of Louisville," Beard said.
Kirchdorfer, chairman and CEO of ISCO Industries, said he's hopeful the upgrades will have a positive impact on junior golfers in the area.
The announcement came in advance of the PGA Tour's 2025 ISCO Championship, being played at Louisville's Hurstbourne Country Club for the first time. Hosted at the Keene Trace Golf Club near Lexington for the last six years, this is the first time this PGA Tour event has come to Louisville.

After caddie change that 'wasn't my choice,' Kurt Kitayama teams with bro for 3M win
Kurt Kitayama's three-shot victory Sunday at the 3M Open marked his second career PGA Tour win. It was his first alongside his older brother, Daniel. Daniel Kitayama, who has caddied off and on for his brother over the years, picked up the bag for the first time this season at last week's Barracuda Championship, which was Kurt's first event after splitting with his previous caddie, Tim Tucker. And as Tucker worked spot duty for his old boss, Bryson DeChambeau, at this week's LIV U.K. event, Daniel was looping a second straight week for little bro. 'You know, the caddie change wasn't my choice actually,' Kitayama said Sunday evening, 'and so I had to find someone that I knew, I had to find someone that I trusted, and my brother's been on the bag before. We won twice in Europe. He's always been around me at tournaments and whenever he can, so I figured that was going to be the best fit to finish the season.' Kurt Kitayama was T-4 at the John Deere Classic, his last tournament with Tucker on the bag, before tying for 14th in Tahoe. Tucker was filling in for DeChambeau's regular caddie, Greg Bodine, and told Golfweek that after this week, 'I will see what opportunities there are in the caddie world.' DeChambeau was T-11 on Sunday. Said Kurt of Daniel: 'He helped me stay calm out there, make good decisions, and yeah, just helps having family on the bag.' Kitayama's win moved him to No. 53 in FedExCup points, so with one regular-season tournament left, he's guaranteed to qualify for the playoff opener, the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.
