While the focus of the world of golf is on the British Isles over the next two weeks, some players from the DP World Tour are preparing themselves for a double-header in the United States on the PGA TOUR.
Held in parallel with the Genesis Scottish Open this week, the ISCO Championship will feature a field of PGA TOUR and DP World Tour members as part of the Strategic Alliance between both tours.
For those players not exempt into the second Rolex Series event of the Race to Dubai season, opportunity beckons stateside.
Fifty DP World Tour members, featuring a mix of seasoned stars and emerging talent from the HotelPlanner Tour and Qualifying School, will tee it up at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

Last year, the tournament was won by England's Harry Hall, who subsequently took up DP World Tour membership and recently came through qualifying to secure his Open Championship debut next week.
After nine editions at Keene Trace Golf Club, this is the first to be staged at Hurstbourne Country Club.
At both the ISCO Championship and next week's Barracuda Championship, which runs in parallel to The 153rd Open, on the Closing Swing, players from both sides of the Atlantic are vying for a US$4 million purse.

The Tahoe Mt. Club in Truckee, California will be the host, it uses a Modified Stableford scoring system and was won by Nick Dunlap last season.
The tournament represents one of the last chances for players to earn FedEx Cup points for the fast-approaching Playoffs.
The winner will also be exempt on both Tours through 2027 (through 2026 on PGA TOUR for non-members).
