Louisville brothers ready to tee it up in ISCO Championship
30 YEAR OLD BRENDAN DOYLE WILL MAKE HIS PGA DEBUT ON THURSDAY. HIS 23 YEAR OLD BROTHER, DREW, WILL MAKE HIS SECOND PGA TOUR START. DREW’S COUSIN, RILEY BENDER, WILL BE HIS CADDIE AND RILEY’S SISTER RYAN IS THE SALES MANAGER FOR THE TOURNAMENT. SO IN OTHER WORDS, EXPECT SOME LARGE GALLERIES TO BE FOLLOWING THEIR GROUPS THIS WEEK. TWO BROTHERS, BOTH READY TO TEE IT UP IN A PGA TOUR STOP IN THEIR HOMETOWN. WE PUSH EACH OTHER EVERY DAY. SO I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE’RE HOME IN FLORIDA, TOO, I MEAN, WE PLAY TOGETHER ALL THE TIME. IT’S, YOU KNOW, WE’RE PRETTY EVEN. SO WE WERE DEFINITELY TALKING ABOUT THIS WEEK. YOU KNOW, HIM GETTING IN WOULD BE REALLY COOL. THEY TOOK DIFFERENT ROUTES TO GET IN THE FIELD. DREW HAD TO SWEAT OUT A MONDAY QUALIFIER AT THE U OF L GOLF CLUB IN SIMPSONVILLE. HE SHOT AN EIGHT UNDER 64 TO TAKE THE FIRST OF FOUR SPOTS. I MEAN, SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID, I ALWAYS DREAMT THAT ME AND HIM WOULD BE PLAYING TOGETHER ON TOUR, SO I GUESS THAT KIND OF BECOMES A REALITY THIS WEEK, SO THAT’S REALLY COOL. BRENDAN GOT IN THANKS TO A SPONSOR’S EXEMPTION. HE FOUND OUT DURING HIS REHEARSAL DINNER AT THE KENTUCKY DERBY MUSEUM. I MEAN, I HAD NO IDEA. I OPENED SO AT OUR REHEARSAL REHEARSAL DINNER FOR OUR WEDDING, IT WAS PRETTY COOL. IT WAS PRETTY INTIMATE. AND AT THE END OF IT, AFTER SPEECHES AND STUFF, RYAN BROUGHT ME OUT OF BOX AND A NOTE FROM JIMMY, AND AS SOON AS I STARTED READING IT, I KIND OF FIGURED OUT BEFORE I READ THE PART WHERE HE GAVE ME AN EXEMPTION AND I TO PRESENT YOU WITH AN EXEMPTION FOR THE 2025 CHAMPIONSHIP. IT WAS PRETTY COOL. I MEAN, MY WIFE IS SUPER EXCITED. MY FAMILY OBVIOUSLY. SO YEAH, IT WAS REALLY COOL. THE DOYLES ARE MEMBERS OF ONE OF LOUISVILLE’S FIRST FAMILIES OF GOLF. THEIR GRANDFATHER, MOE, IS THE PRO AT CRESCENT HILL AND A LEGEND. HE MIGHT BE THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT THIS WEEK. I THINK HE WAS MORE EXCITED THAN I WAS, TO BE HONEST. I MEAN, HE WAS HE HAD BEEN TALKING TO EVERYBODY. I DIDN’T KNOW THIS UNTIL AFTER, BUT HE HAD BEEN CALLING AROUND JUST SAYING NOW WE JUST GOT TO GET DREW IN. NOW THAT BRENNAN’S IN THERE, THE BROTHERS DOYLE WILL TEE OFF WITHIN 11 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER ON THURSDAY. I’M GOING TO DO MY BEST TO JUST ENJOY IT THIS WEEK. HAVE FUN. HONESTLY, I HAVEN’T REALLY FELT MUCH OF THE EMOTIONS YET OUT HERE. I THINK THAT’LL PROBABLY SET IT ON THURSDAY WHEN THE CROWDS START COMING OUT. BUT TODAY I JUST FEEL SO COMFORORTABLE OUT HERE. I’VE PLAYED HERE SO MANY TIMES THAT I’VE JUST GOTTEN USED TO IT, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT’S JUST GOLF. SO. IT’S JUST GOLF. ALL RIGHT. WEDNESDAY TOURNAMENT WEEK MEANS IT’S PRO-AM DAY. U OF L ALL TIME LEADING PASSER CHRIS REDMAN GOT TO PLAY. IT’S A CHANCE TO GO INSIDE THE ROPES WITH SOME PROS. I LEARNED THERE’S A LOT HARDER TO BE A GOLFER THAN A FOOTBALL PLAYER BECAUSE THESE GUYS, JULIO JONES WOULD KIND OF COME AND SNAG A PASS FROM ME. NOBODY’S COMING TO HELP THEM OUT. IT’S ALL ON THEIR OWN, BUT THEY’RE SUCH GOOD PEOPLE AND JUST KIND OF IT’S GOOD TO GET TO KNOW THEM AND YOU KNOW, AND TALK TO THEM A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EVERYTHING. THEY GO THE UPS AND DOWNS OF OF
