Aussies on Tour: Big names seeking PGA Tour cards at the Korn Ferry Tour finals
From Australian Golf Media, by Tony Webeck:
Three of Australia’s brightest talents and one of our most accomplished stars will fight for the right to play on the PGA TOUR next year when the Korn Ferry Tour Finals commence late on Thursday.
Just days after countryman Harrison Endycott secured his PGA TOUR promotion by finishing the regular season in the top 25 on the points list, 25 more cards will be distributed following the three-event Korn Ferry Tour Finals.
It begins this week with the Albertsons Boise Open in Idaho where Lucas Herbert all but wrapped up a PGA TOUR card by earning a share of fourth 12 months ago.
Now Min Woo Lee, Jason Scrivener, Anthony Quayle and Aaron Baddeley take their shot, but coming at it from very different directions.
Lee, currently ranked 68th in the world, and Scrivener, ranked 178th, qualified for the Finals as non-members to have equalled or surpassed No.200 on the FedEx Cup Playoffs and Eligibility Points List. Read more
From next year, 30 TOUR cards will be awarded.
From Korn Ferry Tour News:
The Korn Ferry Tour season has never been more important.
Beginning next year, an unprecedented 30 PGA TOUR cards will be awarded to the top players on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List at season’s end, reaffirming the quality of the competition on the circuit and the importance of rewarding season-long performance.
“Increasing from 25 to 30 PGA TOUR cards annually awarded to our membership through the Korn Ferry Tour season is yet another sign our mission to produce the next generation of PGA TOUR stars is working,” said Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin.
The additional five PGA TOUR cards available via the Korn Ferry Tour were announced Tuesday in concert with widespread changes to the PGA TOUR’s qualification process. It was also announced that 10 TOUR cards would be awarded to the top performers on the DP World Tour and Q-School would award PGA TOUR cards to the top five finishers and ties. It will mark the first time in a decade that Q-School will offer PGA TOUR status. Read more
