Bullet point summary by AI
- The 2026 ISCO Championship winner will earn $720,000, the largest prize in the tournament's history.
- The total purse remains at $4 million, the lowest on the PGA Tour this season and unchanged for three years.
- Only the top 11 finishers earn six-figure payouts, reflecting the tournament's smaller scale amid The Open's approach.
The ISCO Championship has its work cut out for it, just by virtue of its placement on the calendar. With The Open Championship around the corner, most players opt to head for the other big event this weekend, the Scottish Open, for a links test that will help prepare themselves for the third major of the season. As a result, the annual trip to Hurstbourne never draws the biggest field in terms of name power — but that doesn't mean it's short on drama. That was certainly the case on Sunday, with players like Steven Fisk, Taylor Pendrith and Lucas Glover battling it out for the trophy and a share of the total purse.
Just how much money are the players vying for this week in Kentucky? That's where we come in. We're breaking down the full ISCO Championship payouts with prize money for every finishing position, while also providing more details about how the purse and more compare to both past years and the rest of the PGA Tour.
ISCO Championship winner's prize money, total purse for 2026
The winner of the 2026 ISCO Championship will take home $720,000 this week, the most prize money awarded to the winner at Hurstbourne in the tournament's history but still indicative of its status as a bit of an also-ran on the PGA Tour calendar. That's also reflected in the total purse $4 million, tied for the lowest of any event all season long.

Unfortunately, this is one of the now-exceedingly rare events on the PGA Tour in which the winner doesn't reach the seven-figure mark. The total purse at the ISCO Championship has remained flat for the last three years now, and there just isn't a ton of money to go around when so many of the sport's biggest names are across the pond in Scotland preparing for The Open next week. Only the top 11 finishers even reach six figures, with the top 20 making $50,000 or above.
ISCO Championship purse and winners in the last 5 years
Year | Winner | Winner's Prize Money | Total Purse |
|---|---|---|---|
2025 | William Mouw | $720,000 | $4 million |
2024 | Harry Hall | $720,000 | $4 million |
2023 | Vincent Norrman | $684,000 | $3.8 million |
2022 | Trey Mullinax | $666,000 | $3.7 million |
2021 | Séamus Power | $630,000 | $3.5 million |
Obviously, an event on the PGA Tour like the ISCO Championship won't boast the total purse that other tournaments and sponsors are able to. The $4 million available this year does tie a record high, even if it's still tied for the lowest total purse on tour and has remained flat for three years running now.
These sorts of events serve their purpose, both for players who want to stay Stateside until The Open or for those who haven't qualified and are looking to continue grinding away toward the FedEx Cup. But there's a pretty firm ceiling on the growth here: Just consider the fact that, since 2021, the total purse has only bumped up from $3.5 million to $4 million, with the winner's share going from $630,000 to $720,000.
