With just two events remaining on the Korn Ferry Tour’s 2023 schedule things are tightening for several Australians looking to secure PGA Tour status for next season or just retain their full membership of the Korn Ferry Tour.
The leading 120 players on the Korn Ferry Tour points table make it into this coming week’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship in Columbus Ohio with the field for the Tour Championship, two weeks later, then narrowed down to the leading 75.
At the completion of the Tour Championship beginning on October 5th the leading 30 golfers earn PGA Tour cards for 2024 while those inside the top 75 have full Korn Ferry Tour status
This week’s Simmons Bank Open in Tennessee, won by American Grayson Murray, saw several Australians attempting to improve their chances of achieving various milestones over the next three weeks.
Former US Amateur Champion Curtis Luck from Perth did best of them this week when he finished tied for 26th and he is now in 61st position and looking good to make it to the Tour Championship in two weeks’ time.
Brett Drewitt finished 63rd this week and is now outside the top 30, although only just, in 32nd position.
Rhein Gibson and Dimi Papadatos both failed to make the weekend this week and are now in 29th and 64th place respectively on the points table, although both should make the Tour Championship.
