Multiple PGA Tour Golfers Withdraw Days Before ISCO Championship

The John Deere Classic wrapped up Sunday with Brian Campbell emerging victorious in dramatic playoff fashion. The win at TPC Deere Run marked Campbell’s second PGA Tour title this season, solidifying his spot in the FedEx Cup race.

Now, the Tour heads to Kentucky for the 2025 ISCO Championship, set to tee off from Thursday through Sunday. This year’s purse stands at $4 million, with 300 valuable FedEx Cup points up for grabs, making it a crucial event as playoffs near.

However, just days before the action begins, the ISCO Championship has seen several player withdrawals that have shaken up the field.

Harrison Endycott, Henrik Norlander and Richy Werenski have all pulled out. Stepping in to fill those spots are Sean O’Hair, Dylan Wu and Fabian Gomez, respectively. Previously, Camilo Villegas withdrew from the tournament, and his place was filled by Werenski.

The ISCO Championship is being contested at a new venue this year: the Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky. This marks a significant shift from previous years, when the event was held near Lexington. The par-70, 7,056-yard layout has undergone recent renovations and is set to test even the Tour’s longest hitters.

Despite the withdrawals, the field boasts a solid mix of veterans and rising stars. Emiliano Grillo, fresh off a runner-up finish at the John Deere Classic, headlines the group. Louisville natives like J.B. Holmes and Stephen Stallings Jr. will draw plenty of local support.

With 50 DP World Tour members included and top amateurs like Jackson Koivun and Miles Russell in the mix, the ISCO Championship promises an exciting lead-up to the FedEx Cup playoffs. Action kicks off Thursday, with practice rounds closed to the public through Wednesday.
