The 2027 Korn Ferry Tour schedule has been announced, with a 25-event docket that golf fans have been accustomed to seeing in recent years.
The Korn Ferry Tour Championship concludes the season with a 60-player field in the Richmond, Virginia, area. The Compliance Solutions Championship in Oklahoma is the third event of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, played at The Patriot Golf Club and 100 players. The Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship is the second leg, with 132 players. The Simmons Bank Open in Tennessee will kick off the playoffs with 156 players.
The Bahamas doubleheader to start the season has been extended through 2028, with Paradise Island hosting the opening event of the season at Atlantis Resort.
Standard purse events
The minimum purse on the 2027 Korn Ferry Tour is $1,000,000, which is an increase of $250,000 over the 2022 season and equal to the last four seasons. The standardization of purses goes hand in hand with a tour that offers a standard 500 Korn Ferry Tour points to winners in every regular-season event.
The event played at Prince of Wales Golf Club in Chile has a new name, the Chilean Open, but it's still the same event.
International events
The 2027 schedule will feature 18 events in the United States, with seven played outside of the United States.
Korn Ferry Tour Finals
The Korn Ferry Tour schedule will conclude in October, with the Korn Ferry Tour Finals returning to four events. All four tournaments will have a $1.5 million purse, with 600 points are available to the winner.
The Korn Ferry Tour Finals no longer include players from the PGA Tour ranked Nos. 126-200 on the final FedEx Cup points list. It will only include Korn Ferry Tour players, looking to secure one of 30 total PGA Tour cards available in the season-long Korn Ferry Tour points race.
The top 10 players in the points standings will be promoted to the PGA Tour Championship Series for 2028, while the next 30 players in the standings will move up to the PGA Tour Challenger Series. This is a change from the last two seasons, where the top 20 players in the season-ending standings would move up to the PGA Tour.
