It is the Tour's most enhanced tournament in recent history. Formerly known as The Tour Championship, the event's name and appearance got a makeover in 2020, making it a must-see spectacle in Kentucky Junior Golf.

Who is Lou Perry?

Lou Perry passed away in 2011 at the age of 67, but donated a generous sum of money to the Kentucky Golf Foundation to ensure Kentucky's disadvantaged youth would have the opportunity to experience the joys of golf prior to his passing.

What is the significance of the tournament?

The Lou Perry Tour Championship is the final tournament of the Tour's season. The two-round competition brings the Tour's best together in the season finale to decide the season-long points races and the recipients of the tournament trophies.
