NEVR LOOZ GOLF BAG AMBASSADOR JOEL THELEN CAPTURES LATINOAMERICA DEV SERIES FINAL
November 8, 2023
A one-stroke victory secures ’24 PGA TOUR Americas card
Naples, Fla – NEVR LOOZ brand ambassador Joel Thelen won the 2023 Dev Series Final on Sunday by one stroke, securing exempt status for the 2024 PGA TOUR Americas Latin America Swing. His final round 69 and 21-under-par total at the Estrella del Mar Golf Club in Mazatlan, Mexico, featured five birdies and ultimately earned the victory for the former PGA TOUR Canada and current Korn Ferry member.
“I’m thrilled to win,” said Thelen. “There weren’t many cards out there, so I’m thrilled to get the job done.”
An exceptionally long hitter who often carries two drivers during competition, Thelen credits his unique, NEVR LOOZ PRO CLIP golf bag with keeping his clubs safe from damage, organized, and ready to go at a moment’s notice.
“I flat out love the NEVR LOOZ PRO CLIP bag. I always hated hearing my clubs rattle around in a traditional bag design and also didn’t like having to look for clubs during my pre shot routine,” commented the Texan. “With NEVR LOOZ my clubs are individually secured and organized, which actually helps keep me calm and relaxed in high pressure, tournament conditions. I also find the company’s slogan, ALWAYS WIN WITH NEVR LOOZ, inspiring.”
The NEVR LOOZ PRO CLIP golf bag features a wholly unique design with individual clips that can be customized to fit any players preferred set up. Clubs are held in place securely by each clip, protecting heads and shafts from damage while organizing them in a way that makes forgetting a club on a tee box or green nearly impossible.
“We couldn’t be happier for Joel,” said Robert J. Weinmeier, NEVR LOOZ CEO. “He a super talented young player and has been extremely helpful by providing valuable feedback and offering design suggestions as we continue to expand our product line. We’re thrilled that our PRO CLIP bag contributed to his big win!”

The PGA Tour is merging its developmental circuits. Here’s what you need to know

You thought the Designated events and all the other scheduling changes at the top were all the PGA Tour was working on for 2024? Think again.
The Tour announced Tuesday that it will merge the PGA Tour Latinoamerica and PGA Tour Canada , creating the PGA Tour Americas, which will begin play next season.
For the last decade or so, the Latinoamerica and Canada tours have operated separate 12- and 10-event schedules, respectively, with distinct memberships, both rewarding the top-5 finishers for the season Korn Ferry Tour cards for the following season.
But starting in 2024, those two circuits will be rolled into a unified PGA Tour Americas with a 16-event schedule consisting of a Latin American swing and North American swing, with events in both the United States and Canada. The top 10 finishers will gain full status on the Korn Ferry Tour.
Here’s what you need to know:
16-event schedule
Instead of two separate tours, the PGA Tour Americas will consist of two swings; one in Latin and South America from February to May and another in the United States and Canada from June to September. There will be a total of 16 events.
Currently, the Latin American tour begins in December while the Canadian tour doesn’t start until June.
The new system will avoid the overlap between the two tours that currently exists from June to early-July.
Only the top-60 players on the PGA Tour Americas points list will be guaranteed to move on from the Latin America swing to the North America swing. In between the two legs will be a midseason Q School.
The full schedule for the 2024 season will be announced in September. Purse sizes and point distribution will come close to the start of the new tour in February 2024.
Who will play?
With LIV threatening, PGA Tour offers college stars new membership fast track
Complete eligibility criteria for the new tour are not yet outlined, but the PGA Tour announced the top-60 finishers on both this year’s Latinoamerica Tour and Canada Tour points lists will be exempt for the Latin America swing.
From there, eligibility criteria would be similar to that of the current tours and include finishers from beyond the 40th spot in PGA Tour Q School. There’s also an exemption for the top finisher on the APGA Tour who is a member of the APGA Development program. The Latinoamérica Dev Series will also offer access to the first swing.
When the Tour shifts to North America, the mid-season Q school will offer access both to players without status and those who did not finish in the top 60 of the first swing. This is also when finishers 6-20 in the PGA Tour University ranking will be added to the membership after graduating college.
Korn Ferry cards and Q-School exemptions
At the end of the North American swing, the top-10 finishers on the PGA Tour Americas points list will be granted Korn Ferry Tour cards for the following season and exempt through the third reshuffle.
But there are also five additional conditional Korn Ferry Tour cards available to the top-two finishers from the Latin America swing and the top-three finishers on the North America swing, if they were not in the season-long top 10.
All of those players will then be exempt to the final stage of PGA Tour Q School where, starting again this year, the top-5 finishers and ties will be awarded PGA Tour cards. The next 15 finishers on the season-long list, along with the remainder of the top-10 performers in each swing will be exempt into the second stage of Q-School. All PGA Tour Americas members will be exempt into the first stage.
Still with us?!
What do players think?
‘PGA Tour University’ will help best collegiate golfers begin pro careers
When the PGA Tour held a meeting with players on the Latinoamerica Tour Tuesday evening from this week’s event in Peru to discuss the changes, feelings were somewhat mixed, said Josh Goldenberg, who has played on both tours since turning pro in 2019.
“It’s nice that now there are going to be 15, more or less, cards for Korn Ferry, whereas for Latin and Canada this year there’s only five,” Goldenberg told GOLF Tuesday evening. “But at the same time, the competition is probably going to be better because they’re taking the best — top of both [tours] — and you have to play well on that first series of events to then get to the second part of the season.”
Ryan Davis, who holds conditional status on the PGA Tour Canada for the upcoming season, told GOLF he also felt “indifferent” toward the changes. He said a lot of the downside could be from increased travel. Many aspiring pros previously picked one tour or the other, while those with means could attempt to play both.
“It’s pretty much the same because now there are 10 spots for Korn Ferry Tour up for grabs and it was five for each tour before,” Davis said. “It’s nice to have something to play in all year long now, though. Hopefully, the purses are increased because, with that much travel, it’s going to be hard to make any money.”

Purses for this season’s Latinoamerica tour were $175,000 with the Tour Championship offering $200,000. The Canada tour’s purses are slightly larger, between $200,000 and $225,000, depending on the event. Winner’s shares range from $31,500 for most Latinoamerica events while the winner of the Canada tour’s final event will take home $40,500.
Goldenberg, who’s 17th on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica points list, said those purses have been the same since before he turned pro. Higher purses could make the difference for players who were only expecting to play on one tour.
Overall, Goldberg said, the path to the Korn Ferry Tour becomes just a little bit more efficient and easier to understand with the new Tour.
“You have the ability to plan your schedule better,” he said. “Whereas before you had one season or one tour you played on and then you had to either go to Q school for the other tour if you didn’t have status from the year prior. So your season wasn’t as clear as to what events you would play in.
“I think this allows you the ability to do that if you play well. And I think at the end of the day playing well takes care of everything.”

Pga tour americas merges latinoamerica and canada tours, aims to create a more efficient, competitive pathway for players, share this article.
Goodbye PGA Tour Latinoamerica and PGA Tour Canada, hello PGA Tour Americas.
Beginning in February 2024, the two third-level tours will merge under one umbrella as the PGA Tour continues to grow and develop its product. The restructure will aim to create a more efficient and competitive pathway for players looking to take the next step in their professional golf careers.
PGA Tour Americas will hold 16 events across Latin America, Canada and the United States from February-September, with up to 15 Korn Ferry Tour cards available, as well as numerous exemptions to various stages of PGA Tour Q-School.
“As we build on the rich golf history across Latin America and Canada, we are thrilled about PGA Tour Americas and the role this tour will play in preparing players for the next step in their professional golf journey,” said Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin.
So how will it all work?
The full 2024 PGA Tour Americas schedule will be announced in September. Finalized details regarding eligibility, priority ranking, purses and points distribution will be announced closer to the inaugural event in February 2024. Here’s an outline:
- The season begins in February with the Latin America Swing, which wraps in May.
- Following that the PGA Tour Americas will host a mid-season Qualifying School and introduce a handful of PGA Tour University graduates.
- The season will then continue with the North America Swing, where players will compete across Canada and the U.S. from June-September.
Eligibility for the Latin America Swing
Fields for the Latin America Swing (February-May 2024) will consist of 144 players. Those eligible to compete will include the top 60 players from the PGA Tour Latinoamerica points list from 2022-23 as well as the top 60 players on the PGA Tour Canada points list from 2023. Players can also qualify via the following routes ( priority ranking to be announced ):
- 2023 PGA Tour Q-School
- Latinoamerica Dev Series
- Highest finisher on the 2023 APGA season-long points list who is a member of the APGA Player Development program
Eligibility for the North America Swing
The top 60 players from the Latin America Swing will continue on to compete in the North America Swing (June-September 2024), where the field will increase to 156 players. The top 50 from the PGA Tour Americas Q-School as well as Nos. 6-20 from PGA Tour University will also be eligible. Players can also qualify via the following routes ( priority ranking to be announced ):
- Open qualifying and sponsor exemptions
- Korn Ferry Tour
- Additional finishers Latin America Swing / PGA Tour Americas Q-School
Performance benefits
The top 10 finishers on the season-long PGA Tour Americas points list will earn Korn Ferry Tour membership. Five conditional Korn Ferry Tour cards are available to the top two finishers in the Latin America Swing and the top three finishers from the North America Swing.
The top 10 finishers on the PGA Tour Americas points list, the top two from the Latin America Swing and the top three from in the North America Swing will all earn exemptions to the Final Stage of PGA Tour Q-School.
The following players will all earn exemptions to the Second Stage of PGA Tour Q-School:
- Nos. 11–25 on the PGA Tour Americas points list
- Nos. 3–10 from the Latin America Swing
- Nos. 4–10 from the North America Swing.
All remaining PGA Tour Americas members will earn exemptions to the First Stage of Q-School.
Why it makes sense
The Latinoamerica and Canada tours were essentially doing the same thing on a different schedule from two tours it was supposed to be feeding, the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour.
Aside from streamlining a confusing pathway to the Tour, the merge will also put all three levels – PGA Tour Americas, Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour – on the same operating schedule in a January–September/October window. From October–December, most PGA Tour players will compete in the fall series. Everyone else will enter Q-School to play for status and exemptions.
More benefits for solid play and an easier to understand system are improvements for both fans and the players. Time will only tell if this was the right move for the Tour, but in theory, it checks out.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Georgia – The FedExCup Fall offers career-changing opportunities.
Life-changing ones, as well.
From fighting to his card to playing in the TOUR’s top events. That's what a successful FedExCup Fall did for List.
It also led to a victory in the RSM Birdies Fore Love competition . For making the most birdies (or better) throughout the FedExCup Fall, List will receive $300,000 to donate to a children- or family-focused charitable organization of his choice.

“That's why we play, to give back,” List said. “The game gives us so much in these moments and this platform, but ultimately, it's using our exposure and our platform to give back to those that need it.”
In addition to the overall Birdies Fore Love competition for the FedExCup Fall, there also was a weekly competition that gave each winner $50,000 to donate to the charity of his choice. Eric Cole, who finished T3 at The RSM, was the individual winner for the FedExCup Fall finale, joining Sahith Theegala (Fortinet Championship), Zecheng Dou (Sanderson Farms Championship), Tom Kim (Shriners Children’s Open), Collin Morikawa (ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP), Justin Suh (World Wide Technology Championship) and Camilo Villegas (Butterfield Bermuda Championship).
Meet the 10: Adrian Meronk leads DP World Tour players to earn dual membership on PGA TOUR

As Rory McIlroy officially secured his fifth Race to Dubai title and Nicolai Hojgaard sank the final putt of his breakthrough win at the DP World Tour Championship, a few more players rejoiced.
For the first time, another incentive was on the line: dual membership on the PGA TOUR.
As part of the Strategic Alliance with the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour, the top 10 players on the final Race to Dubai Rankings who were not already exempt on the PGA TOUR for 2024 earned TOUR cards for next year. Players will hold status on both tours, giving the best on the DP World Tour access to the PGA TOUR while still maintaining the flexibility to play in Europe.
Adrian Meronk finished atop the Race to Dubai Rankings – PGA TOUR Eligibility ranking. His three wins proved enough to vault him above the rest. Rasmus Hojgaard, twin brother of Nicolai Hojgaard, fell just short of joining his brother on the PGA TOUR in 2024. He finished 11th. Nine different nationalities are represented in the top 10.
Nicolai Hojgaard and Min Woo Lee, who both finished inside the top 10 of the Race to Dubai rankings, did not earn TOUR status through their finishes on the Race to Dubai.. Instead, they earned their TOUR cards by earning an amount of nonmember FedExCup points equal to or greater than No. 125 in the final FedExCup standings.
Here’s a look at the 10 DP World Tour players who earned dual membership on the PGA TOUR. (Note: Official World Golf Ranking is updated through Nov. 12.)
Adrian Meronk
Age: 30 Official World Golf Ranking: 46th
Meronk won three times on the DP World Tour, holding the top spot in the Race to Dubai Rankings – PGA TOUR Eligibility ranking for much of the season. A T32 finish at the DP World Tour Championship ensured he ended the season the same way. By finishing No. 1, Meronk earns full PGA TOUR status for 2024 and an exemption into THE PLAYERS Championship.
Adrian Meronk works toward becoming first Polish PGA TOUR member
The 30-year-old Meronk, who became the first man of Polish descent to earn DP World Tour membership in 2019, narrowly missed out on a captain’s pick from Luke Donald to play on the European Ryder Cup Team. He left no doubt about achieving dual membership, though.
Career wins worldwide: 2019 Open de Portugal (Challenge Tour), 2022 Horizon Irish Open (DP World Tour), 2022 ISPS HANDA Australian Open (DP World Tour), 2023 DS Automobiles Italian Open (DP World Tour), 2023 Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters (DP World Tour Career PGA TOUR starts: 14 PGA TOUR cuts made: 6 Best PGA TOUR finish: T14, 2023 Honda Classic
Age: 36 Official World Golf Ranking: 28th
Thanks to a late-season charge, Fox jumped from 30th to second in the eligibility ranking. The New Zealander won the BMW PGA Championship in September, one of three top-three finishes in four starts to rocket up the rankings.
Fox nearly earned his card through Special Temporary Membership. He made 13 TOUR starts and accumulated 351 non-member FedExCup points. But unlike Min Woo Lee and Nicolai Hojgaard, Fox will play on TOUR thanks to his Race to Dubai finish.
Ryan Fox looks to create his own legacy
Fox, 36, is the son of rugby New Zealand All Blacks legend Grant Fox. His grandfather, Merv Wallace, was a professional cricketer. Fox represented New Zealand in the Olympics in 2016 and 2020.

Victor Perez
Age: 31 Official World Golf Ranking: 74th
Perez’s TOUR card has been earmarked since the beginning of the year. He won his opening event of the season, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January and hasn’t left the top 10 since. It marked the most significant victory of his career, his first Rolex Series title, and it came at the right time to capture dual membership.
Victor Perez leads a new wave of French golfers
The Frenchman’s starts in the U.S. have primarily been limited to the majors, though he has shown an ability to play with the TOUR’s best. He finished fourth at the 2021 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and T9 at THE PLAYERS Championship that same season.
Career wins worldwide: 2017 Challenge de Espana (Challenge Tour), 2018 Foshan Open (Challenge Tour), 2019 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship (DP World Tour), 2022 Dutch Open (DP World Tour), 2023 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship (DP World Tour) Career PGA TOUR starts: 31 PGA TOUR cuts made: 18 Best PGA TOUR finish: Solo fourth, 2021 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play
Thorbjørn Olesen
Age: 33 Official World Golf Ranking: 76th
Olesen has the most PGA TOUR experience of the top 10, but most came nearly 10 years ago. He earned Special Temporary Membership in 2013 and then spent one season with status on TOUR (2013-14) before returning to Europe to play fulltime. He finished 175th in his lone FedExCup Regular Season. He will hope to improve on that in his second go-around.
Still only 33 years old, Olesen is having one of the best years of his career. The member of Europe's 2018 Ryder Cup team moved back inside the top 100 of the OWGR after falling outside the top 400 in 2021. He got hot early in the DP World Tour schedule, winning the Thailand Open and carding five other top 20s in his first seven starts. Consecutive top-10s followed by a third-place finish two weeks ago at the Nedbank Golf Challenge secured his dual membership.

Valimaki won the 2020 Oman Open in his sixth career start on the DP World Tour, 18 months after completing his military service in Finland. He captured his second career DP World Tour victory at the 2023 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters to move him into a position to capture dual membership. He was a highly touted junior player, ranking inside the top 10 of the World Amateur Golf Rankings in 2018.

Robert MacIntyre
Age: 27 Official World Golf Ranking: 57th
It’s a name American golf fans will recognize after 2023. MacIntyre charged up the leaderboard with a Sunday 64 and nearly won the Genesis Scottish Open, finishing runner-up to Rory McIlroy in one of the most dramatic finishes of the year. He went undefeated at the Ryder Cup for Team Europe a few months later. Another former DP World Tour Rookie of the Year, MacIntyre beat Cameron Champ, 6 and 4, at the 2017 Ryder Cup.
Robert MacIntyre's breakout performance at Genesis Scottish Open
The Scotsman only started focusing on golf when he was 17 years old. He grew up playing his favorite sport, shinty. Between the ages of 13 and 17, he played for his local club, Oban Camanachd. His late grandfather, Dougie MacIntyre Sr., is considered one of the best to ever play.
