Pinnacle Bank Championship

The Pinnacle Bank Championship is Omaha's professional golf tournament, a stop on the Korn Ferry Tour, which is the PGA Tour's development circuit. The players here are the next wave of tour pros, and many past Korn Ferry winners have gone on to win on the PGA Tour, so fans get a close-up look at future names before they become household ones.

The event began in 2017 and has been played every year at The Club at Indian Creek in Elkhorn, on the far west edge of the metro. The 2026 edition was the tenth. The course plays as a par 71 at more than 7,700 yards, one of the longer setups on the tour, and the prairie wind can make it play even longer.

Tournament week starts with pro-ams on Monday and Wednesday and a practice round Tuesday, then a 156-player field tees off Thursday for four rounds. The purse in 2026 was $1 million, with $180,000 to the winner. Saturday is Youth Day, aimed at getting kids out to the course.

Compared with a PGA Tour event, crowds are relaxed and manageable. You can walk right up to the ropes, follow a group for a few holes, and find a spot on the grass near the 18th green without fighting for space.

Tips for going

• Buy tickets through the official tournament site, which links to TickPick.
• Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a hat and sunscreen; August in Nebraska is hot and the course has open stretches.
• Check the tournament's spectator information page for parking and shuttle details before you go; Elkhorn is about 30 minutes west of downtown.
• Weekend rounds draw the biggest crowds; Thursday and Friday are quieter if you want to follow specific players.
