The Ascendant presented by Blue Korn Ferry stop will be July 7 to 13 at TPC Colorado
By Jim Bebbington
Organizers of the Ascendant presented by Blue Korn Ferry Tour event held each summer at TPC Colorado have hired a new management company to run the tournament.

The popular tournament, which began six years ago, has been named ‘Tournament of the Year’ twice by Korn Ferry Tour players. Members of the new tournament management group, Outlyr, met this week with local tournament backers and long-time volunteer chairmen and women at TPC Colorado in Berthoud.
Lenny Francouer, a senior vice president with Outlyr, told the gathering that the group intends to “make a good thing better.” He said they will be looking into the food, music and entertainment experience that patrons get now and seeking to make sure it is best-in-class.
The Ascendant presented by Blue has been held each July and past participants include Scottie Scheffler and 2021 winner Will Zalatoris. 2024 winner Cristobal del Solar won with a four-day score of 22-under par.
The tournament has long drawn strong crowds. The TPC Colorado clubhouse and course design bring the 15th, 16th and 18th greens close to the club’s back patios and create a popular gathering space for patrons and event tents. When the weather cooperates – summer late afternoon storms are not uncommon – the Sunday crowds can be similar to some PGA Tour stops.
Outlyr is an international event management company based in Connecticut. It manages PGA, Champions and LPGA tour events including the LPGA’s Meijer Classic and the ShopRite Classic.
