Barbasol Championship moving to Kentucky in 2018

The Barbasol Championship is moving to Kentucky in 2018, marking the first PGA Tour event in the Bluegrass State since 1959.

The tournament has been held opposite The Open since its inception in 2015, and was held on the Grand National course on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Opelika, Ala., each of the last three years. But the venue was listed as "to be announced" when the Tour released its 2017-18 schedule last month.

The Tour announced Wednesday that the tournament will now shift to the Champions Course at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Ky.
