The 2025 Visit Knoxville Open final leaderboard is headed by winner Pontus Nyholm, who topped the Korn Ferry Tour leaderboard this week at Holston Hills Country Club in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Nyholm secured his first Korn Ferry Tour win in fantastic fashion, beating Johnny Keefer in a playoff in Vols country after both players finished regulation tied on 19-under 265.

Nyholm made eagle 3 on the par-5 18th in the first playoff hole to win the tournament after making a bogey there in the final hole of regulation to get into the extra session.

Jeffrey Kang and Dylan Menante finished in a share of third place, a shot out of the playoff.

Nyholm won the $180,000 winner's share of the $1,000,000 purse.

Korn Ferry Tour Championship recap notes

Nyholm earned 15.7 Official World Golf Ranking points with the win, which does help his world ranking, as he also gains 500 Korn Ferry Tour points. The top 20 players in the points standings at the end of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship earn PGA Tour cards for 2026.
