The Korn Ferry Tour season is reaching its climax, with everything hinging on the final tournament.
This year, the championship takes place at the Pete Dye Course in French Lick Golf Resort, Indiana. Here, 74 golfers are battling for a chance to earn one of the prestigious PGA Tour cards.
For those who have been following closely, only the top 30 players on the points list will secure these coveted cards. But wait! The top 17 have already clinched their spots, leaving just 13 golden tickets up for grabs after this week’s showdown.
Even if some players miss out on a PGA Tour card this time around, there’s still hope. All participants in this event will enjoy full exemption status on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour and another shot at qualifying through Q-school. Players ranked from 31st to 60th can enter directly into the final stage of Q-school, while those between 61st and 75th get into the second stage. Fans might wonder if their favorite underdog will make it through these challenging stages.
Prize Money & Opportunities:
Beyond securing a spot on the PGA Tour, there’s also a hefty prize pool of $1.5 million at stake here—just like in previous finals events. The winner pockets $270,000 and second place earns $135,000 in this no-cut competition.
Here’s how it breaks down: first place gets $270k; second takes home $135k; third receives $90k; fourth collects $66,525; fifth earns $55,500…and so forth down to last place with $5,130.
Players To Watch:
With most cards already claimed by top performers throughout the season (like Karl Vilips or John Pak), others need stellar performances now more than ever before! Sam Bennett sits precariously close to losing his spot unless he finishes strong against fierce competition like Trent Phillips nipping at his heels—a mere 42 points behind him!
Aldrich Potgieter stands out as well—he made history earlier by shooting an incredible round of 59 during February’s Astara Golf Championship held in Colombia!
Meanwhile Harry Higgs has secured himself among other notable names such as Frankie Capan III or Cristobal Del Solar who both shone brightly too when given opportunities previously within major tournaments worldwide…
Location & History:
This year’s finale unfolds for its debut appearance across Southern Indiana’s picturesque landscape—the renowned Pete Dye Course hosting once again since last seen back during KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship days past (2015).
So what do you think about these high stakes? Will your favorite golfer rise above adversity here?
