"It will be an incredible honor for Kentucky to host these individuals and corporate guests each summer."Next year's event will be held July 19-22, the same week The Open is contested at Carnoustie. It will continue to offer a $3.5 million purse with $630,000 to the winner.Earlier this year Grayson Murray earned his first Tour victory at the Barbasol, edging Chad Collins by a shot. Past champions include Aaron Baddeley (2016) and Scott Piercy (2015).
