Twenty players, including a 19-year-old, earned PGA Tour cards for 2027 when they finished the season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Championship on Sunday. Doc Redman, a former U.S. Amateur champion, was among those who played his way back onto the PGA Tour.
Big changes are coming to the PGA Tour in 2028. With the Tour’s two-track system debuting in a little over a year, next season will be critical for players trying to play their way onto the top tier, the Championship Series. Owning a PGA Tour card for 2027 gives these players a head start in reaching that top track in 2028.
Here are the 20 players who earned their 2027 cards, listed in order of their finish on the final points list.
