Changes for 2023

edit

Unlike in previous seasons, the Finals will not have a separate points list; the top 30 point earners through the entire season, including the Finals, will earn PGA Tour cards. The FedEx Cup standings are no longer criteria for Korn Ferry Tour Finals eligibility. Also, the finals will feature elimination after each event. For the first three events, if a players opts out, their spot will go to the next highest ranked golfer. For the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, only the top 75 ranked golfers will be eligible. All players who qualify for the Korn Ferry Tour Championship are fully exempt for the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour. Players who finish 76 to 100 are conditionally exempt. [1][2]

Albertsons Boise Open

edit

The Albertsons Boise Open was played August 24–27. Chan Kim won his second straight Korn Ferry Tour event, securing himself a PGA Tour card for 2024.[3]
