Meet the 20 golfers who earned PGA Tour cards at 2026 KFT Finals

The 2026 Korn Ferry Tour Championship wrapped up at The Federal Club in Virginia, delivering 20 players their PGA Tour cards for 2027 in a fiercely competitive race. The field saw dramatic late-season surges, with two players outside the top 20 at the start of the finals climbing into the coveted spots—including the champion.

Ross Steelman dominated the season with two wins and unmatched consistency, securing his first PGA Tour card and automatic entries into the 2027 Players Championship and U.S. Open.

Sandy Scott, Alistair Docherty, and Alvaro Ortiz also stood out with multiple victories, while Austin Hitt and Cole Sherwood earned their promotions through late-season breakthroughs. The class of 2027 includes standout performers like Blades Brown, the youngest player in KFT history to earn a PGA Tour card, and Tommy Morrison, who transitioned from college golf to the professional ranks in just months.

Others like Cooper Dossey, Hunter Eichhorn, and Ian Gilligan—whose inspiring cancer-survivor journey adds emotional weight to his achievement—rounded out the group, each bringing distinct strengths to the PGA Tour next year.
