With the conclusion of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour Championship, the Korn Ferry Tour season ended, settling the fate and priority order of 20 PGA Tour cards for the 2027 PGA Tour season, which begins with the 2026 The American Express.
Players competing on the Korn Ferry Tour spent the whole season accumulating Korn Ferry Tour points. Winners of the regular-season events earned 500 points with a win, and that figure increased to 600 points in the four Korn Ferry Tour Finals events.
At the end of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, the top 20 players in points earned 2027 PGA Tour cards.
Blades Brown, at 19 years, 4 months and 20 days, would become the youngest player on record to earn PGA Tour membership through the Korn Ferry Tour, eclipsing Jason Day, who earned his card at 19 years, 11 months and 23 days.
The winner of the season-long race is fully exempt for the season ahead and get a spot in The Players Championship and the US Open. Ross Steelman won the list of Korn Fetty Tour grads, so he is the only players NOT subject to the reshuffles in the PGA Tour priority order every six or so events. He is in his own priority order category for the season, ahead of the other graduates. Every other player is subject to the reshuffle.
