The Korn Ferry Tour Finals are into their second week with several Australians attempting to play their way onto the PGA Tour over the next two weeks at this week’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship in Ohio.
Harrison Endycott is also in this field but he has already earned the right to play in the big league next year courtesy of a fine year on the secondary tour in 2022. But, the NSW golfer can improve his priority ranking if he plays well in the Finals and last week he did just that by finishing 18th at the Boise Open to gain a place or two in the standings which will be divided between those 25 players who have already gained a card and the 25 players who will earn a card via the three final events.
Min Woo Lee and Jason Scrivener are in 17th place of those not already with tour cards via the regular season after the opening event last week and Anthony Quayle is 56th.
Aaron Baddeley who has of course been a PGA Tour member (on and off) since 2002 gets another chance and is in 26th place after last week’s event.
The volatility of the format means that one good finish in the Finals can earn a coveted PGA Tour card for next season.
