Okay, so it's no secret that this week's alternate-field ISCO Championship doesn't have the overall appeal of the Genesis Scottish Open that's taking place overseas.
But that doesn't mean we won't see some great golf from the 156 players in the field at Hurstbourne Country Club, which will serve as the host of this co-sanctioned event for the very first time.
While much of the field will be attempting to rack up as many FedEx Cup points as possible with the PGA Tour Playoffs right around the corner, there are also 50 DP World Tour players set to tee it up in Louisville this week looking to improve their standing in the Order of Merit.
A total of $4 million is on the line at the ISCO Championship, and the winner is also guaranteed a spot in The Sentry, The Players Championship, and the PGA Championship next year. A win for a PGA Tour member brings a two-year exemption, and a win for a DP World Tour member gives that player the option for PGA Tour membership through 2026, which is a big deal.
So, this tournament is bigger than the average golf fan might think.
As far as the overall betting favorite goes, that honor belongs to Michael Thorbjornsen, who owns three top-five finishes on the PGA Tour this season, the most recent coming just two weeks ago at the Rocket Classic, where he tied for fourth. The 23-year-old is the second-highest-ranked player in the world in this field at No. 106 and enters the week getting +1600 odds to win.
The highest-ranked player at the ISCO Championship is world No. 92 Emiliano Grillo, who was ranked 150th just a month ago.
But after top-25 finishes at the RBC Canadian Open and the U.S. Open and a runner-up finish at last week's John Deere Classic, where he lost in a playoff to Brian Campbell, Grillo has vaulted 58 slots in the OWGR and enters the week getting +1800 odds. Kevin Roy, who tied for third at TPC Deere Run, is getting the same +1800 odds.
The world's top-ranked amateur, Jackson Koivun, fresh off a tie for 11th at the John Deere, his best PGA Tour finish to date, is tied for the fourth-shortest odds at +2200 alongside Rico Hoey, who was part of a five-man playoff at this event a year ago, ultimately tying for fourth.
Defending champion Harry Hall is not in the field this week, as he's across the pond at the Scottish Open, thus guaranteeing a new winner in Kentucky.
