Twenty players earned PGA Tour cards for 2027 by finishing among the top 20 on the Korn Ferry Tour’s season-ending points list. The group includes a 19-year-old pro, and the promotions come as the PGA Tour prepares for its two-track system, which debuts in 2028. Doc Redman, a former U.S. Amateur champion, is among those who played his way back onto the PGA Tour this season.
The changes ahead make 2027 a critical season for players hoping to reach the top tier, the Championship Series. Owning a PGA Tour card going into 2027 gives these players a head start on that goal.
