With the Korn Ferry Tour Championship ending the second-tier season, we now know the players who have earned their spot at the top table…
The 2026 Korn Ferry Tour is over and we now know the 20 players who will be playing on the PGA Tour next year.
Austin Hitt, who had started the week in 22nd, carded a 5-under 66 to win the season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Championship and move up to sixth in the final standings.
The only one other player to start the week outside the magic number was Davis Lamb who finished 8th at Glen Allen to sneak in.
Ross Steelman’s tie for 12th was enough to leapfrog Sandy Scott and finish top of the final standings. That earns him a spot in the 2027 Players Championship and US Open.
