KEY THINGS TO KNOW
WELCOME
With the inaugural season of PGA TOUR Americas underway, we are thrilled to
welcome our fans to watch the future stars of the PGA TOUR.
Our players have come from a variety of backgrounds to get where they are now,
but they all share the same goal: to earn their Korn Ferry Tour card, and
eventually their PGA TOUR card. Cards will be awarded to the top 10 players in
the Fortinet Cup season-long points list, meaning every tournament, round and
shot could be the difference in earning Korn Ferry Tour membership.
On top of showcasing the talents of our players, our priority is to provide PGA
TOUR Americas members and fans with a world class experience, inside and
outside the ropes. Inside the ropes, the competition and course layouts will
replicate what players will see at the next level on the Korn Ferry Tour. Outside
the ropes, tournaments are committed to making an impact in the communities
where they play.
Since 2013, PGA TOUR Americas tournaments have raised over $6 million for
various charities. Our tournaments are committed to making an impact in their
local communities, and delivering a positive, memorable experience for the fans
who come out to support our players.
On behalf of all our tournaments and staff, I want to wish you all the best in your
PGA TOUR Americas experience. If there is anything you need from myself or our
staff, we are here to support you in any way we can to make your time on-site
memorable.
TOURNAMENT INFORMATION
From the season-opener in Tulum, Mexico to the September finale in Caledon, Ontario, PGA TOUR Americas players are competing for the Fortinet Cup and a promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour next season.
As the top two players from the Latin America Swing, New Zealander Harry Hillier and Canadian Matthew Anderson have already secured Korn Ferry Tour conditional membership for 2025. They still have plenty to play for: if they finish in the top 10 in the final Fortinet Cup standings, they will upgrade their status to fully exempt next year.
And the season’s ultimate goal remains: hoisting the Fortinet Cup at Osprey Valley.
When the 16-event PGA TOUR Americas season ends in September, the top 10 players in the Fortinet Cup standings will earn exempt membership on the Korn Ferry Tour next season.
After a brief offseason, the Korn Ferry Tour begins in January and it's onto the next stage of their careers. From the Korn Ferry Tour, the top 30 players at the end of the season will earn golf's ultimate promotion: a PGA TOUR card.
Those #TOURBound graduates are now seasoned, ready to compete against the best of golf's biggest stages. For many players, the path to the PGA TOUR starts with PGA TOUR Americas. This week's event is an important step on that path.
