The 2023 Korn Ferry Tour was the 33rd season of the Korn Ferry Tour, the official development tour to the PGA Tour.
Changes for 2023
[edit]Unlike in previous seasons, the Finals did not have a separate points list; the top 30 point winners through the entire season, including the Finals, earned PGA Tour cards. A rule change announced in December 2022 allowed for Korn Ferry Tour members that made the 36-hole cut in the U.S. Open to earn Korn Ferry Tour points equivalent to FedEx Cup points earned for their finish.[1][2]
Schedule
[edit]The following table lists official events during the 2023 season.[3][4]

Notes
[edit]- ^ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of Korn Ferry Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Korn Ferry Tour members. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Korn Ferry Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the PGA Tour.
