There have been plenty of early changes to the ISCO Championship 2026 field this week, with several players already withdrawing from the event.
The event, co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour, is set to begin at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky, as an alternate event for the Genesis Scottish Open, the same week.
Now, according to the PGA Tour's official website, Max McGreevy withdrew from the event. Later, Austin Eckroat and Will Gordon were added to that list.

McGreevy, who finished the John Deere Classic tied for 51st at 8-under, is set to replace Brooks Koepka in the Genesis Scottish Open field.
Eckroat's situation is a little different. He's not in the main field for this year's Genesis Scottish Open. After the tournament's entry deadline passed, he landed as the first alternate on the list, alongside Brice Garnett.
Then there's Will Gordon, whose withdrawal came without any explanation from either the player or the Tour. Gordon participated in the John Deere Classic field after Jhonattan Vegas withdrew from the event with a shoulder problem.
He closed with a 68 on Sunday to finish solo 64th at 6-under at the John Deere Classic.
In their place, Taylor Pendrith was added on July 3, according to the Tour website. On July 5, the Tour added several others such as Felix Mory, Euan Walker, Hugo Townsend, Davis Bryant, Thomas Rosenmueller, Quim Vidal and Joshua Berry.
Big Names Still Headline the Field Despite the Absences
Even with the late churn, the ISCO Championship field is still stacked with players in good form. It's headlined by Max Homa, Lucas Glover, Jackson Koivun, and defending champion William Mouw.
Homa and Glover both arrive off strong weeks at the John Deere Classic.
Homa finished runner-up at 19-under, one shot behind winner Chris Gotterup after carding four straight birdies on the back nine. It was his best finish since a solo-second at the 2023 Genesis Invitational, and it lifted him to 49th in the FedExCup standings.
Glover, meanwhile, held at least a share of the lead through all three of the first three rounds at TPC Deere Run. He settled for a tie for third at 18-under alongside Ben Kohles and Lee Hodges. It was the first podium finish of the season for the 2009 U.S. Open champion.
Jackson Koivun is another name worth watching. The former Auburn star and No. 1 amateur in the world made his professional debut at the John Deere Classic, but he missed the cut by four shots. Even so, he still has a high ceiling, especially after his T23 finish at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
