The season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Championship on Sunday handed out 20 PGA Tour cards for 2027, including one to a 19-year-old pro. Doc Redman, a former U.S. Amateur champion, also played his way back onto the PGA Tour this year. The promotions matter because big changes arrive in 2028, when the Tour’s two-track system debuts. Next season will be critical for players trying to reach the top tier, the Championship Series, and a 2027 PGA Tour card gives these 20 players a head start.
