Cameron Champ, Tommy Morrison and Christo Lamprecht headline a loaded Pinnacle Bank Championship field facing Indian Creek’s brutal test.
The Pinnacle Bank Championship arrives in Omaha with a field that looks far more dangerous than your average late-season Korn Ferry Tour stop.
PGA TOUR winners, rising prospects and players fighting for their professional futures will collide Aug. 6-9 at The Club at Indian Creek, one of the toughest courses on the schedule.
There won’t be much room for passengers.
Cameron Champ brings the biggest PGA TOUR résumé into the 156-player field with three career victories, while Robby Shelton leads the group of Korn Ferry Tour champions with four wins.
Shelton also knows exactly how to survive Indian Creek after winning this tournament in 2022.
Defending champion Christo Lamprecht returns to a course that demands far more than raw power. Indian Creek stretches 7,721 yards and plays to a par 71, but its length is only part of the problem.
The Omaha layout has ranked among the Korn Ferry Tour’s 10 most difficult courses five times, including three seasons inside the top five.
That means this week could get ugly quickly for anyone who loses control off the tee.
The $1 million purse includes $180,000 for the winner, but the real prize is movement on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List. Ian Holt reclaimed the No. 1 position after finishing tied for ninth at the Utah Championship.
Holt already owns two victories this season, including the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic.
Tommy Morrison may be the hottest player in Omaha. The former Texas standout has opened his professional career with five consecutive top-10 finishes, including a runner-up result in Utah.
Only Adrien Dumont de Chassart has started a Korn Ferry Tour career with a longer top-10 streak.
Morrison has also already won the Evans Scholars Invitational after finishing sixth in the 2026 PGA TOUR University standings.
Cole Hammer enters with momentum after tying for second in Utah and climbing to No. 20 on the Points List. Derek Hitchner, meanwhile, arrives fresh off his first Korn Ferry Tour victory after surviving a five-man playoff with a birdie on the opening extra hole.
Omaha native Luke Gutschewski adds a strong local storyline. The son of three-time Korn Ferry Tour winner Scott Gutschewski will make his third appearance in the event.
Indian Creek rarely hands out easy birdies, and history says the eventual champion will have to earn everything.
With PGA TOUR veterans chasing another opportunity and young stars racing toward promotion, the Pinnacle Bank Championship could become one of the season’s most revealing pressure tests.
