Thirteen PGA Tour cards are still up for grabs with just two weeks left in the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. Yeah, you read that right: thirteen spots on the big stage are waiting for someone to snatch them up, and the clock is ticking HARD.
The Ultimate Grind
Right now, the Korn Ferry Tour is in full swing for its penultimate playoff event, the Compliance Solutions Championship. It’s all happening at Patriot Golf Club in Owasso, Oklahoma, and it’s a brutal field. We’ve got the top 100 players from the Korn Ferry Tour points list duking it out, but here’s the kicker: only the top 60 from this event move on to the Korn Ferry Tour Finals next week. That’s the last dance at The Federal Club in Glen Allen, Virginia.
We started this whole thing with 20 PGA Tour cards available for 2027, but seven players have already locked in their spots. Think about that: they played so well, they’re already chilling for next year, while everyone else is fighting tooth and nail. Sandy Scott is one of those clutch guys, he won the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, which was the second of the four playoff events. Ross Steelman, Doc Redman, Ian Holt, Alvaro Ortiz, Cole Sherwood, and Alistair Docherty are the other six who are already punching their tickets. Mad respect for sealing the deal early!
Who’s Feeling the Heat?
So, with those seven locked in, it means the race for the remaining 13 spots is absolute fire. There are a bunch of notable names who are either super close to clinching or desperately need two monster weeks to make it to the PGA Tour. You know the names. Tommy Morrison, sitting at No. 8 on the points list, is right there. Blades Brown, at No. 14, is absolutely in the mix, but he’s gotta perform. And James Nicholas, currently No. 29, needs to bring his A-game to make sure he’s not left out when the music stops. These guys are playing for their careers, man. Every shot matters.
Also, just a quick note for the future: the PGA Tour’s 2028 season is bringing in a new structure where the Korn Ferry Tour will promote to a “Challenger Series,” but don’t worry, they’re still giving out 20 cards. For now, though, it’s all about those 13 spots left for 2027.
Next week, it’s the Korn Ferry Tour Finals at The Federal Club. For the 60 players who make it through this week’s cut, it’s their final chance. Everything they’ve worked for this season comes down to that one event. You wanna see some high-stakes golf? This is it. Get ready to see who steps up and grabs one of those coveted PGA Tour cards. It’s gonna be epic.
