2024 Korn Ferry Tour schedule: Tournaments, dates, purses and venues

The 2024 Korn Ferry Tour schedule has been announced, with a 26-event docket that golf fans have been accustomed to seeing in recent years.

The most significant changes to the schedule are related to the standardization of purses, leading to a guaranteed $1 million purse each week.

Purse-boosted events

The minimum purse on the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour is $1,000,000, which is an increase of $250,000 over the 2022 season and equal to the 2023 season. The standardization of purses goes hand in hand with a tour that offers a standard 500 Korn Ferry Tour points to winners in every event.

International events return

The 2024 schedule will be played almost entirely in the United States, with events outside of the country returning this year.

Korn Ferry Tour Finals

The Korn Ferry Tour schedule will conclude in October, with the Korn Ferry Tour Finals returning to four events. All four tournaments will have a $1.5 million purse.

The Korn Ferry Tour Finals will no longer include players from the PGA Tour ranked Nos. 126-200 on the final FedEx Cup points list. It will only include Korn Ferry Tour players, looking to secure one of 30 total PGA Tour cards available in the season-long Korn Ferry Tour points race.

Korn Ferry Tour announces 2024 schedule featuring 26 tournaments

The PGA Tour announced Tuesday the schedule for the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour season, which features 26 tournaments across six countries and 17 states, beginning in January and culminating in October at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance, where PGA Tour cards will be awarded to the top-30 finishers on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List.

The 2024 Korn Ferry Tour schedule, which marks the 34th season in the Tour’s history, will open with six consecutive international events, the most in a single season on the Tour since 2017.

The historic Visa Argentina Open presented by Macro will become a Korn Ferry Tour event next year, as well. The 117th playing of the tournament will be contested Feb. 29–March 3 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at Olivos Golf Club, and the event will include coverage on ESPN Latin America. In partnership with The R&A, the Visa Argentina Open presented by Macro will continue its tradition of awarding its champion an exemption for The Open Championship.

Here’s a look at the complete Korn Ferry Tour schedule for 2024.

How long is the path to the Korn Ferry Tour? How about 22,990 miles

In 2024, PGA Tour Canada and PGA Tour Latinoamerica will merge into one league called PGA Tour Americas. The tour will comprise 16 tournaments in South America, Canada and the United States. The video below offers an estimate of what the travel schedule will look like.

Last week, the PGA Tour announced that the two tours feeding the Korn Ferry Tour—PGA Tour Latinoamerica and PGA Tour Canada—are merging to form PGA Tour Americas in 2024 . The schedule will look relatively similar: an early year swing through South and Central America and a summer swing through Canada, but top players will be able to play across both and earn one of 10 fully exempt spots on the Korn Ferry Tour, one step below the PGA Tour. The top two from the South American swing and the top three from Canada not otherwise exempt also will get conditional status on the Korn Ferry Tour.

It's a well-defined path—if ultra-competitive—but players who choose it better be ready for long rides on little planes. ( The video below offers a rough estimate of what the travel schedule would look like if you played in each event.) That 22,990 miles covers nine countries and would require more than $7,000 in plane fare—and that's assuming you fly directly point to point and don't go home in between. At the halfway point of this year’s PGA Tour Latinoamerica season, Conner Godsey leads with $52,898 in prize money, which means he's probably eating a lot of takeout and sleeping on some couches. Will Bateman led PGA Tour Canada last year with $119,920 in prize money. It was probably a loss-leader season, but it got him Korn Ferry status this year, where he has won $97,900 in eight events.

Korn Ferry Tour Player Shoots 13-under 58 in Texas

Frankie Capan III fired the third sub-60 score of the season on the Korn Ferry Tour.

• Author: John Schwarb

There’s a new member of the sub-60 club in pro golf, on a tour that has seen a couple already this season.

Frankie Capan III shot a 13-under 58 on Thursday at the Texas Rangers Golf Club in the first round of the Veritex Bank Championship on the Korn Ferry Tour. He made four birdies in a row from the 2nd through 5th holes, then hung red numbers on eight straight holes from the 9th through 16th. In all he had 11 birdies and one eagle.

Capan parred his final two holes including the par-5 18th. 

The Korn Ferry Tour had two sub-60 scores earlier this year at the Astara Golf Championship, as Cristobal Del Solar shot 57 and Aldrich Potgieter shot 59 on a par-70, 6,254-yard course at elevation in Colombia. Capan shot his 58 on a par-71, 7,010-yard course.

There has been one 58 shot on the PGA Tour, by Jim Furyk at the 2016 Travelers Championship. 

Capan, 24, turned pro two years ago and attended Florida Gulf Coast University. The Minnesota native 298th in the OWGR with a high finish of third in 30 career KFT starts.

Capan led by three in the morning wave. Trent Phillips shot 61 and trailed by three.

After scintillating korn ferry tour start, 15-year-old miles russell planning out a busy summer, share this article.

Miles Russell is still an amateur golfer and intends to remain so for the foreseeable future.

Russell, the 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach native who became the youngest player in history to finish among the top 20 in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event last week at the Korn Ferry Tour’s LECOM Suncoast Open, said he will keep to his junior and amateur schedule this summer, which will be capped by defending his title in the Junior Players Championship on Labor Day weekend at the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.

“That’s the plan,” he said Wednesday during a teleconference from the Veritex Bank Championship near Dallas, a tournament he’s playing thanks to his tie for 20th last week at Lakewood National. The Korn Ferry Tour gives players who finish among the top 25 a spot in the next event on the schedule. “I’m planning to play to play the rest of the summer like I planned to … a couple of junior, a couple of am events, see how it goes.”

Regardless of how Russell plays this week or any additional pro events, Russell said he’s not entertaining any thoughts of turning pro. His schedule includes events such as the Junior Players, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Junior, the Western Amateur, the North and South Amateur and a U.S. Open sectional qualifier, among other junior or amateur tournaments.

“It’s going to be a busy summer,” he said.

Russell also has a fall date on the PGA Tour: the Butterfield Bermuda Championship Nov. 14-17. Russell received an invitation to the FedEx Cup Fall tournament that will be reserved for the American Junior Golf Association Player of the Year.

Miles Russell’s ‘wild ride’

Russell will tee off at 3:43 p.m. on Thursday off No. 1 at the Texas Rangers Golf Club in Arlington, Texas, and at 10:08 a.m. on Friday from the 10th tee. His playing partners are Callum McNeill of Scotland (30 years old) and David Bradshaw (40).

Russell termed his last week “a wild ride,” and it’s no wonder. He first became the youngest player to ever make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour (and the third-youngest to make a cut in a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament), then had weekend rounds of 70-66 to climb 28 spots on the leaderboard.

Russell said he’s taking great satisfaction from earning his way into the Veritex Championship after playing in the LECOM Open on a sponsor invitation.

“Earning something feels better than getting an exemption,” he said. “You know what you practiced for and what you live for and that’s what you did.”

He admitted that Sunday and Monday were exhausting days. Once he and his family knew he would finish among the top 25 while driving back to Jacksonville Beach, there were travel arrangements to be made and a new set of golf clothes to pack.

“All the emotion and excitement and adrenaline, that travel from Sunday night to Monday until I got here … it was a long, long day.”

Russell said his goals this week are the same

Russell said he likes the course and said the goal this week would be the same as last week.

“Just try to put … two good rounds together and see where that puts us compared to the cut,” he said. “If we make the cut, just try to have two more good rounds and see where that puts us.”

He said he’s been surprised by the attention for his play at Lakewood National, which comes on the heels of a string of junior golf accomplishments, such as winning the Junior Players, the Junior PGA and being named the AJGA Player of the Year, along with making the Junior Ryder Cup team and the first USGA Junior National team.

“If I had my choice I would not have any of it [the attention],” he said. “But it’s kind of what happens when you play well so you kind of got to get used to it every once in a while. Everybody’s been nice and easy to work with and hopefully it stays that way.”

Russell said being humble is in his nature.

“I think that’s kind of my personality,” he said. “I don’t like being showy with things, kind of like walking around a certain way. I like to just kind of go about my business and do my thing.”

He said he was surprised when there were autograph seekers following his final round on Sunday — admitting he needs to improve his handwriting — and said it was “really cool,” to get a shoutout on X from World Golf Hall of Fame member and fellow left-handed golfer Phil Mickelson.

“I’ve looked up to him,” he said. “Going to The Players, I always watched him.”

Russell praises caddie/teacher’s influence

Russell said his support team of parents Joe and Kelli and caddie Ramon Bescansa have helped him concentrate on golf as best he can, given sudden media requests and fan attention.

He said Bescansa, his swing instructor since he was 7 years old, is a calming influence as a caddie.

“He’s the nicest, most positive guy you’ll ever meet,” he said. “The vibes he puts off … when you’re on the golf course that’s all you need. He can flip the mood and get you going [and] his knowledge of golf is on a different level.”

Russell also predicted he won’t be the last 15-year-old to make such a splash.

“Everybody has access to a ton of stuff … launch monitors, some of the best coaches … the equipment companies are starting to help younger kids out with gloves, balls … all the stuff … having the right clubs to fit into,” he said. “Everybody’s just so talented. There’s so many ways to be good and everybody’s finding every little detail to be good at it, or try to be the best.”

Five things to know: 2024 PGA TOUR schedule

Need to Know

Change Text Size

The 2024 PGA TOUR schedule has arrived, and it promises to deliver drama and tension throughout the year.

With the TOUR’s return to a calendar-year schedule, 2024 will kick off with the “Opening Drive” at The Sentry and Sony Open in Hawaii. The Sentry also is the first of eight Signature Events for 2024, which in addition to the majors, THE PLAYERS and the FedExCup Playoffs, will provide a consistent cadence of tournaments that fans can circle on their calendars, knowing the best players in the world will be participating.

“We are excited about the roll-out of the PGA TOUR’s reimagined schedule,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan, “and what the season will offer to our fans: a January start with stars competing head-to-head more often, alongside the weekly drama of life-altering moments and the emergence of new stars.”

To get you ready for 2024, here are five things you need to know about next year’s schedule:

1. SIGNATURE EVENTS

Eight Signature Events are featured on the new schedule. These events, referred to as Designated Events in 2023, will showcase the TOUR’s top players at tournaments and venues that fans are intimately familiar with. These events will offer increased purses and FedExCup points, with winners earning 700 points (compared to 500 for Full-Field Events).

The eight Signature Events for 2024 are:

* The Sentry (Jan. 1-7) * AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (Jan. 29-Feb. 4) * The Genesis Invitational (Feb. 12-18) * Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard (March 4-10) * RBC Heritage (April 15-21) * Wells Fargo Championship (May 6-12) * the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday (June 3-9) * Travelers Championship (June 17-23)

The three player-hosted invitationals (Tiger Woods’ Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament presented by Workday) will feature a 36-hole cut to the top 50 players and ties, as well as any players within 10 strokes of the lead. The remaining five Signature Events will not have a cut.

Signature Events are expected to have field sizes between 70-80 players. They will be comprised of the top 50 from the previous year’s FedExCup, top performers (10) in the current-year FedExCup standings, top performers (five) through the most recent swing of Full-Field Events and Additional Events, PGA TOUR winners and PGA TOUR members in the top 30 of the Official World Golf Ranking. (See below for criteria.)

The Sentry will feature the top 50 from the 2023 FedExCup standings along with all PGA TOUR winners from the 2023 calendar year.

The Signature Events are among 15 tournaments in 2024 that offer 700 or more FedExCup points to their winners. THE PLAYERS and majors will offer 750 points (up from 600) and the first two FedExCup Playoffs events award 2,000.

2. THE CADENCE

Thanks to multiple opportunities throughout the season for players to qualify for the Signature Events, the 2024 schedule carries a cadence and interplay between the Signature and Full-Field Events.

Earning spots in Signature Events adds another storyline to the pursuit of TOUR titles and FedExCup points, and the placement of Signature Events alongside THE PLAYERS and majors creates several multi-week stretches of premier golf.

The Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and THE PLAYERS Championship will be held in back-to-back weeks in March. The Masters will be played four weeks later and will immediately be followed by the RBC Heritage. The Wells Fargo Championship and the PGA Championship will be played in consecutive weeks in May and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday will begin a three-week stretch of golf that includes the U.S. Open and the Travelers Championship.

The Full-Field Events will offer opportunities for stars to compete against players seeking to climb golf’s meritocracy. In addition to the Signature Events, top players will continue to visit their favorite stops and compete in the Full-Field Events. Competition between these big names and the TOUR’s up-and-comers, the players trying to unseat those atop golf’s meritocracy, creates compelling drama.

The Swing 10 and The Next 5 allow in-form players to earn spots in those Signature Events. The top 10 players in the current-season FedExCup standings who are not already exempt will earn a spot in Signature Event fields, as will the top performers in Full-Field events preceding the Signature Events.

This chart shows the cutoff dates and events that will determine those spots in Signature Events.

3. ON THE MOVE

Several events have moved places in the schedule. The most noticeable is the Texas Children’s Houston Open going from the fall to two weeks prior to the Masters. Along with the following week’s Valero Texas Open, the TOUR will spend two weeks in the Lone Star State before the Masters.

The Mexico Open at Vidanta moves from April to the final week of February. The tournament, held on Mexico’s West Coast, now follows The Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades, California, and precedes the TOUR’s move to the East Coast.

The AT&T Byron Nelson, traditionally held the week after the Wells Fargo Championship, will be played the week prior (April 29-May 5). The Wells Fargo Championship (May 6-12) will now lead directly into the PGA Championship.

The RBC Canadian Open and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday swapped dates. The RBC Canadian Open will now be the week before the Memorial Tournament. The Memorial will precede the 2024 U.S. Open at North Carolina’s Pinehurst Resort.

There will also be a one-week break between the 3M Open and the Wyndham Championship to accommodate the Olympic Men's Golf Competition on Aug. 1-4 at Le Golf National in Paris, France.

4. NEW PLACES

The PGA TOUR heads to three new venues in 2024.

The BMW Championship will be played at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado, about 25 miles south of Denver. The Jack Nicklaus-designed course will look familiar to longtime TOUR fans. It hosted The International from 1986 to 2006, a modified Stableford event on TOUR. Past champions at Castle Pines include Davis Love III, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh and Lee Janzen. It will host the second FedExCup Playoffs event in 2024.

The TOUR also is debuting a new event in the renowned golf destination of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and returning to Utah for the first time in decades.

The Myrtle Beach Classic on May 6-12 is a 300-FedExCup point event that will be played the same week as the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina. It debuts at Dunes Golf & Beach Club, a Robert Trent Jones-designed course that hosted PGA TOUR Champions’ Charles Schwab Cup Championship from 1994 to 1999 and was the site of the PGA TOUR Q-School Finals in 1973, where three-time defending NCAA champion Ben Crenshaw took medalist honors.

Utah’s Black Desert Resort will host a new tournament, the Black Desert Championship, during the FedExCup Fall. Tournament dates will be announced at a later date along with the remainder of the schedule for the FedExCup Fall, the portion of the season where eligibility will be finalized for 2025. It will be the first PGA TOUR event contested in Utah in more than 60 years.

The majors are re-visiting familiar venues in 2024. Both the U.S. Open (Pinehurst No. 2) and PGA Championship (Valhalla Golf Club) are being held at courses that they last used in 2014. Valhalla is the site of Rory McIlroy’s most recent major victory. The Open returns to Royal Troon for the first time since 2016.

The Presidents Cup will be held next year at The Royal Montreal Golf Club in Quebec, Canada. The club hosted the 2014 RBC Canadian Open and the 2007 Presidents Cup.

5. CALENDAR-YEAR SCHEDULE

For the first time since 2012, the PGA TOUR will operate on a calendar-year schedule.

The first of 36 Regular Season tournaments will be played in Maui, Hawaii, in the first week of January, followed by three FedExCup Playoffs events. The FedExCup champion will be crowned Sept. 1 at the TOUR Championship in Atlanta.

The 2024 FedExCup Fall, which will finalize eligibility for the 2025 season, will start in September after the conclusion of the TOUR Championship. Finishers Nos. 71-125 at the conclusion of the FedExCup Fall – in addition to all who qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs -- will be exempt into all Full-Field Events in 2025. Winners in the FedExCup Fall receive a two-year exemption, an exemption into THE PLAYERS Championship as well as other majors and invitationals.

Additionally, Nos. 51-60 at the conclusion of the FedExCup Fall will qualify for the two Signature Events following The Sentry (AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational).
