Louisville, PGA of America, First Tee make $1.1 million investment in youth golf course
LOUISVILLE — Various improvements will be coming to the Seneca Youth Golf Course thanks to a $1.1 million investment from the city and several investors, Mayor Craig Greenberg announced earlier this week. 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.

ISCO Championship will play at its new home in Louisville for the first time in 2025
Louisville will host the ISCO Championship for the first time in 2025. The PGA Tour event is scheduled July 10-13 at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville. For the last six years, it was at Keene Trace Golf Club near Lexington. 'Attending the ISCO Championship is not just about seeing top-tier professional golf — it's about being part of an atmosphere that's electric, energizing, and uniquely Kentucky,' Jimmy Kirchdorfer, chairman and CEO of ISCO Industries, the tournament's title sponsor, said in a news release. Harry Hall won his first PGA Tour trophy at the 2024 ISCO Championship. 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 ISCO Championship has a $4 million purse, and the winner receives 300 FedEx Cup points. Defending champ Harry Hall will not defend, as he is instead playing in the Genesis Scottish Open, held on the same dates. 2025 ISCO Championship field
