Twenty players earned PGA Tour cards for 2027 on Sunday, including a 19-year-old pro, after the season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Championship. Doc Redman, a former U.S. Amateur champion, was among those who played his way back onto the PGA Tour.
Big changes are coming to the PGA Tour in 2028, when the Tour’s two-track system debuts in a little over a year. Next season will be critical for players trying to reach the top tier, the Championship Series. Owning a PGA Tour card for 2027 gives these 20 players a head start on that goal.
