With the PGA Tour’s best headed overseas for the Genesis Scottish Open, there’s an opposite field event happening in Louisville, Kentucky, which is the ISCO Championship. It features a ton of younger prospects, like former world #1 ranked amateur Jackson Koivun, who just made his pro debut last week, and he’s the favorite on DraftKings to win. However, there’s also grizzled veterans competing too, hoping to return to past glory, as they don’t have to face the top golfers on the tour.

On Kalshi, defending champion William Mouw is trading the most, as he came roaring back to year with a scintillating final round 61 to steal the trophy for his first triumph on the main circuit. Just like the Scottish Open, this event is co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour, so there’s a lot of European golfers competing as well, in a totally wide open field. Last year was the first time Hurstbourne Country Club hosted from Louisville, Kentucky, and the winning score was just -10.

ISCO Championship Odds (2026)

I’m starting my card this week with Ben Kohles, who had a heartbreaking finish at the John Deere Classic Sunday. Needing a birdie to win on the final hole, or a par to force a playoff, he hit it into the drink and made a catastrophic double bogey. However, he obviously was right there in contention to win, and I believe he can learn from that to defeat an inferior field.

Odds as of 10:17 am ET on Monday, July 6th, at DraftKings. Check out the full list of DraftKings deposit methods.

Kohles doesn’t come in sporting a ton of value at +2300 on DK, but that’s still decent enough for a playoff who was right in the thick of things last tourney. He’s also recently won on the Korn Ferry Tour, has five straight top-30s, and was T-8th here, a year ago.

ISCO Championship 2026 Picks & Value Bets

• Lee Hodges +3348 (2.9¢) at Kalshi: Lee Hodges co-led the John Deere Classic heading into the final round, where he wound up in a tie for third. He’s a very streaky golfer, who has one title to his credit (2023 3M Open). Given that he was just in contention to win, I’m surprised his number isn’t lower than this, so I’ll jump on it pronto.

• Lucas Glover +5100 at DraftKings: I had Lucas Glover on a +17500 ticket to win outright at last week’s John Deere Classic, and he co-led with Hodges after three days. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to go the distance, also tying for third, but his veteran pedigree could be enough this week. At +5100, you’re still getting the 2009 U.S. Open champion at a very good price against this field.

• A.J. Ewart +6300 at DraftKings: While A.J. Ewart hasn’t been close to earning his first W on the PGA Tour this year, he’s also been extremely solid and consistent. In nine of his last 13 tournaments, the Canadian has placed inside the top-30, showing he’s relatively close to popping.

• Harry Higgs +10000 at DraftKings: Everyone’s favorite “Big Rig” Harry Higgs found himself in the hunt at the U.S. Open, as he was T-7th at the halfway point. A tough weekend followed to drop down the board, but he then backed that up with a respectable T-21st at TPC Deere Run. Last year, he was in a playoff at another opposite field event (Myrtle Beach Classic), and he could find his way near the top of the board in Louisville. At +10000, the flyer is worth the minimal risk. While winning might be a stretch, he’ll be interesting to monitor in the top 5/10/20 markets.
