Let’s get you ready for the Coinf Fairy Tour finals. We’re on the road to French Lake. [Music] [Music] [Music] Hello and welcome once again to the Road to French Lake, a show chronicling the Corin Fairy Tour. I’m Ryan Bali. On this week’s episode, we’re going to give you the lay of the land to get you ready for the Corin Fairy Tour finals, the four event series that concludes the Corin Fairy Tour season, which will end with the Corin Fairy Tour Championship presented by United Leasing and Finance at the Pete Die course at the French Lake Resort out in Indiana. That’s where 20 players on the Corinth Tour points list will move up to the PGA Tour with the graduation to give them 2026 PGA Tour status. In this episode, we’re going to explain how the Corny Tour finals works. will give you the points list and the situation for players who are at the lower end of the cutoff and toward the higher end of the cutoffs for each of these events as well as for that top 20 on the coin fairy tour points list and what all of that means in the next several weeks. We’ll also be joined by Baron Bath who’s one of those players on the coin fairy tour looking to become a graduate and go to the PGA Tour in 2026. Let’s start with an explanation of what the Cornferryy Tour finals is, how it works, those events, and everything that results from them. The Cornferry Tour finals is a four event series that concludes the Corinth Fairy Tour season. It ends with the Cornferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing and Finance and that is reserved for the top 75 players in the points list after the 22 event regular season and the first three events of the Corin Ferry Tour finals. However, there are markers on the points list that you need to get into the first three events of the finals, and they get exceedingly more difficult for players to get into those events. Each of these four events has a purse of $1.5 million, which is a $500,000 increase from the regular season purse of $1 million. There’s also a 20% bump in the points for the Corn Fairy Tour points list. Typically in the regular season you get 500 points for a win in the regular season. However, in the Cornberry Tour finals that increases to 600 points and all of the points increase by 20% in relationship. So there is a little bit more on the line here in these four events and that will determine altogether the points in the regular season and all of the finals events who are the 20 graduates that go to the PGA Tour for 2026. It’s important to note that you want to be number one on the points list at the end of the season. We have three players this year, Austin Smotherman, Johnny Kefir, and Neil Shipley, who have won twice this season. If they win in any of the finals events, they earn an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour, and that would make them eligible to play in FedEx Cupfall events. However, being number one on the points list may be something they pursue instead of playing in the PGA Tour throughout the course of the finals because if you are number one on the final points list, and that includes players who get a three-way promotion, you get fully exempt status on the PGA Tour in 2026, which means you are not subject to something called reshuffles, which limits or changes your accessibility to certain events based on FedEx cut points you earn. It also gives you an invitation to play in the US Open and the players championship in 2026. So being number one on the points list is a big deal. That is a goal for all of the players who are seeking to be PGA Tour players in 2026. The first event of the series is the Simmons Bank Open that starts benefiting the Aesthetic Foundation that starts September the 11th at Vanderbilt Legends Club out in Franklin, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville proper. This is an event that has taken over this first spot in the playoffs from the Albertson’s Boise Open and it represents the first event of the Cornferry Tour finals. It is reserved for players inside the top 156 in the points list. Only those players who are in the top 156 can play in the event. They don’t add additional players from outside of that number to round out the field if there aren’t enough to fill the field. And doesn’t have to be a full field event. You can skip these events. You’re not required to play in all of the finals events. After this first event, the Simmons Bank Open, the points list will determine the players who get in the second leg of the finals, which is the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship played on the Scarlet course at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. That’s one of the tougher courses to play on the Cornferry Tour schedule for one, but also this tournament is reserved for players who are in the top 144 in the points list after the regular season in the Simmons Bank Open. will play this tournament. This tournament, like the first one and the third one, will have a cut to the top 65 players in ties after 36 holes. After the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, they’ll skip a week, take a week off, and then they’ll go to the third leg of the playoffs. In this leg, it’s reserved for the top 120 players on the points list. Those players will get into the compliance solutions championship which is new to the final series this year. It’s played at the Patriot Golf Club out in AASO, Oklahoma. Again, this tournament is reserved for those players in the top 120 on the points list. They will play to a 65 and ties cut after 36 holes. And like all the first three tournaments in the series with a $ 1.5 million purse at 6.34 points to the winner. At the end of that tournament, there will be a cutoff to determine the field for the Cornberry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing and Finance. And it is the biggest cutoff of all. Go down from 120 players who qualify for this third event in Oklahoma to just 75 players who qualify for the Cornferry Tour Championship. Those top 75 players advance to French Lake, play on the Pete Die course for 4 days with no cut. So, if you qualify for the field, you have full status on the coin fairy tour in 2026, regardless of what happens, which means you don’t have to go to Q school for that purpose. You can go to Q school, of course, and try to get a PGA tour card, but you have a place to play guaranteed next year regardless. In that event, you have to finish in the top 20 in the points to get a PGA Tour card for 2026. And for a number of players, there are scenarios where you have to win to be one of those 20. But for many of those players inside the top 20 heading into the tournament, probably about twothirds of them, they’re going to have a PGA Tour card more or less locked up regardless of the result of the tournament. But the final event, we’ll wrap it all up. We’ll wrap up the season and we will have our 20 graduates for 2026 to the PGA Tour. French Lick, Indiana, our little corner of the world, has big things waiting. It’s where legends were made on the court and on the course. Walter Hagen, Colin Montgomery, Betsy RWS, and Mickey Wright. It’s where life is lived to the fullest. And where unexpected adventures are around every corner, big things are waiting. Are you in? Visit frenchlick.com and start your escape here in Indiana. Our guest this week on the road to French Lake is Baron Batha. The Ohio native these days and South African born player. is competing on the PGA Tour this year and finds himself just kind of in that middling range with an opportunity to potentially move up significantly in the finals and still get a PGA Tour card for 2026. Our Brendan Sweeney caught up with him earlier in the season to talk about his experiences and his year. So, how do you like the uh obviously the Cornferry tour is a little bit different from uh life as a Toledo Rocket? Yeah, it is. um a lot of traveling same as at university but it’s been good um I think college it’s a good preparation for to a life so it’s a little different you don’t don’t have a big team around you but you you still have some members so yeah I mean caddy manager few guys around you that are part of the team so a little bit of a team aspect still but Yeah. How how difficult was it trans, you know, making the transition from South Africa to Toledo? Not and not only Toledo, but to Orlando now. Yeah. I mean, my freshman year when I came in, it was snowing already. And I just came from summer, so it was a little bit of a shock, but um I don’t think it was too difficult. Um I had my brother there, too, so it was it’s not that bad. So I had someone there that I could speak Africans to and and it was my brother. So it made it a lot easier. Any culture shock at all? Like going to the the local restaurant or Yeah. or the roommate from from Cleveland that snores or whatever it may be? Uh we had a Danish teammate um that was rooming with us. Um great kid and everything. Um but it was fun. You know, I had someone else there um from a different country. So it was it was good. And then foodwise I say that was probably the the biggest shock. I mean everything was bigger and had to change a few of my pronunciations um so that the people could understand what I wanted. So yeah. How’s the how’s it? Obviously this year has gone off pretty well. Uh six events, three cuts. You’re what in the 25th on the list give or take. are pleasantly surprised your preparation, your motivation. How’s it how’s it working? I think PJ America’s um prepared me a little bit for this. I mean, it was PJ America was very low scoring and you had to you had to go low every single week if you wanted to compete. Um and it was just it was just normal college golf, I would say. Um, that’s kind of where I I assumed that I I could do this. And then when I went to PJ Americas and won twice, that just gave me more confidence that I could compete with these guys and that they weren’t out of my league. But yeah, I’m happy so far with the performance. Um, still a lot of work to do though, but yeah, it’s all good. How do you how do you prepare for a week like this? You just got done with obviously six events that were not in the United States. Yeah. Uh but coming to the states and being in obviously starting here in Savannah, southern climate and then you head off to Florida after that. So it’s relatively close to home now. Yeah. Um the travel won’t be as intense, but it’ll be more I would assume driving or whatnot. But how do you prepare like a week like this? Normally we like to get out here probably Sunday night, maybe early Monday mornings. Um, and then just get on the golf course, get the feel of the greens cuz the greens change every single week. Um, luckily for me, this is very similar to Orlando. So, kind of have a good feel for the greens. U, and I mean, they’re rolling pretty nicely and true, I would say. And you can you can easily see the grain changes. So, greens wise, I would say it’s very similar. Um, so practicing out of Lake Nona definitely helps. Um, and then just get back into the rhythm of it. Hit balls, make sure the timing and everything’s there. And then play nine normally Monday, Tuesday, and get the feel of the golf course. And then Wednesdays, if we’re in the pro, play the pro, too. Um, but yeah, just see see the golf course and figure out what what’s the best way to play it. Got it. What’s your uh what’s your go-to social media stuff? Instagram guy. Yeah, Instagram. I’d say Instagram’s the only one that that I do. Um, but yeah, not not really on of any of the other ones. Very active on them, but get it going. All right, man. Well, we wish you the best of luck. Um, looking forward to hopefully you’re not in French Lake. Hopefully you bypass that whole thing. Go right to the tour, man. We love to see you. But hey, we appreciate you. We appreciate what the the Mac Conference has done. Uh, a little maction on the on the Cornfury Tour. Want to say hi to anybody? Any sponsors? Anybody you want to say hi to? American Interiors, Ashworth, Callaway, uh, Agile Blue, another Toledo alum there. So, uh, very appreciative for what they do for me and without them wouldn’t be here. So, very thankful for them. Cheers, mate. Thank you. As we get ready for the Corn Fairy Tour finals, is important to go over where players stand in the points list heading into the four event series. Let’s go over the top five in the points list just to reset who’s at the top of the table heading into that series. Johnny Kefir is number one on the points list at 271 points. He has two wins on the season. Austin Smotherman also has two wins on the season. He is second in points at 1,844. Neil Shipley is the other player of the three to have two wins this season. He is third on the points list at 1,627. Emilio Gonzalez, who won the Albertson’s Boise Open, is now in fourth position at 1532 points. And Hank Leota, who won the season opener in the Bahamas, is in fifth position at 1,444 points. Heading down to the number 20 position, the cutoff to be a graduate or the PGA Tour cards heading into 2026. That player right now is Josh Teter, who won at Panama this year. He has 825, nearly 826 points. At the outset of the year, Corn Fairy Tour predicted that approximately 1,000 points would be the necessary number to get into this top 20 at the end of the season. That seems to be pretty accurate in the end. That would mean that Josh Teter would need to earn approximately 175 points in the four events of the Corin Perry Tour finals to assure himself a spot on the PGA Tour in 2026. If you look heading into the finals knowing that 600 points is awarded to a winner in each of these finals events, then the player who is sitting basically at 50th position has the best opportunity and and above has the best opportunity to win and in so to speak. If you win one of the events in the Cory Fairy Tour finals, you’re going to practically guarantee yourself one of those 20 PGA Tour cards. that cutoff right now is Sandy Scott and that’s at 445 points. So 600 points for a win in the finals that would get Scott over that,000 threshold and have him in position to earn a card for 2026 onto the PGA Tour. The cuto off for about 400 points. There isn’t someone quite in that number. There’s actually an interesting gap between 57th at Baron Batha and 58th Peter Quest. BA has 421 points on the season. If he were to win a Corinth Tour finals event, that 600 points will put him over that thousand figure and likely get him to the PGA Tour in 2026. But Peter Quest, however, has 394 points. So there’s a 30-ish point gap between those players. A win for Quest, though, in a finals event and no other points would not get him over that thousand point mark. So there are a lot of things that can happen here. And even that 994 hypothetical points might still be enough, but we’re looking at that thousand figure to be the cutoff. So looking down at the start of the Corin Fairy Tour finals, that 156 players on the points list, number 156 is Harrison Endicott. He has 60.75 points. The 144 point part or player on the 144th part of the list. So that’d be the cutoff for the next event in Ohio. That’s Joseph Braramlet who’s been playing on the PGA tour as well as some on the corner tour this year. He is at 82 and a half points. So you’re going to have to earn if you’re Harrison Endicott a little over 22 points and then the cuto off to the next player is Chess Hadley who’s at 155 61.4 points. So you you’re going to have to make the cut and then you’re going to have to have a pretty decent finish to be able to earn enough points to advance if you’re in that 145 to 156 range. And then currently the cuto off for the 120 position that’s Bobby Diaz. He has 168.9 points. He’s going to need to move up pretty significantly if he wants to get into the top 75 which currently that cutoff is Blades Brown. The teenager has 300.1 points. So good finishes are needed to move up significantly into the top 75. Modest finishes are needed to move up to get into that gap between 156 and 144 and 144 and 120. Brandon Sweeney joins me from Orlando. We’re going to get ready to break down the field of 156 heading into the first leg of the Cornferry Tour finals down in Nashville, Tennessee. Just so we kind of lay the land out for everybody here, we got the first event in Nashville and that’s going to run from the 11th through the 14th of September. One week later, they’re going to go to Columbus for the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, which has been a long-standing event in the finals. That’s in Columbus, Ohio at the Ohio State University. Now, we got a week break and we’ve got a new third tournament in the series. It’s the Compliance Solutions Championship out in Oklahoma at the Patriot and then we’re going to French Lake right after that the next week for the Corny Tour Championship. So, you got to be in the top 156 to get into the tournament. You’re going to be in the top 144 in points after that first leg, then 120, and then 75. And there’s no cut in that final event. So, that all said, Brandon, is anyone you’re paying particular attention to as we get ready for this first event in Nashville? Guys that are kind of bubble boys that need to make a little hay or at least get get some points to assure themselves a spot in Ohio. Where do you start, man? I mean, you look at names like Nick Wattney, Aaron Weise, uh Brandon Crick, uh Ryan Armor. I mean, these guys been been I mean, granted, there’s been what 19 tournaments this year so far and they’re just grinding for points, but you know, those those 12 spots that are going to be eliminated going down to the 144 range and then they’re fighting from there. So, if you basically missed the cut in these events uh within the next two weeks, you’re packing your bags for the rest of the year. And it’s it’s it’s getting tough. It’s getting really uh difficult out there for these guys to start gathering points. I mean, we we mentioned at the beginning of the year to get your PGA card, you got to be north of a thousand points. These guys right now are trying to make the points. They’re in they’re in they haven’t broken a 100 yet. So, I think tour has been rather generous. If you play well, obviously you can’t hide on the golf course and the talent level speaks for themselves. So, um, but I think this first leg, you know, when when you eliminate guys, uh, then you look at the at the at the week after that, you know, when it when you’re in Ohio at 144 players, you have, you know, Bo Kim, Kevin Twe, Kevin Chapil, uh, Tanya Goyo, Ian Gilligan. I mean, these guys are literally all in the bubble. So, if they missed the cut this week and they missed the cut next week or the following week in in Ohio, it’s be a long cold winter, man. I mean, you got Q school, you got 20 guys that are coming down from the from the PGA tour, right? Or 25. Yeah, 25. 125 to 120 to 100. So, those 25 uh fellas will be spread out over. But I tell you what, man, this week is is pressure cooked. I’m going to be up in Nashville on Monday uh and Tuesday. So, I’ll be talking to a few guys out there, but I mean I mean, when you’re on the range and it’s like, hey, you got a couple minutes talk to to Road to French Lake, you got to be really careful who you’re picking. So, I could get a, you know, a couple unique answers, which I’m sure I will. So, we’ll see what happens. Ryan, yeah, it’s a little different conversation. And I mean, and we’ve talked about this throughout the course of the season that people kind of get a little bit of an edge to them the further along in the season that you get and the more you’re just kind of hanging out in that not even not safe zone in the danger zone where you might have no kind of status to speak of whatsoever. If you get eliminated basically in the first two legs of the finals, if you’re out at 156 to 144 or 144 to 120, you got to go play Q school. you’re going to play probably second stage of Q school in some cases. Um it’s not going to be pretty. Like you’ve got a lot of life choices to make if you don’t do well in these next two events. Well, you polish up on your Spanish because I’m sure you’d be like spend a lot of time in South America playing on the PJ tour Latin America season and also in Canada, too. So, if you look at the at the balance of what the Cornferry Tour has and then how to get to the PJ tour, but if you look at the lesser tours, I’m sure that they’re I hope that their purses are getting bit bigger because their their field is getting stronger just by eliminating people. So, uh yeah, next year should be rather interesting. And then also with the, you know, the different statuses trying to get on the PGA tour, whether it’s through PGAU or the DP World Tour or or or coming through a different way, you know, I mean, cornfairy is the best way to get through there. But I mean, if you look at, you know, when you’re in Oklahoma in three weeks, if these guys, you know, if you’re in the 120 so far, I mean, we’re talking names like, you know, Sam Bennett and Doc Redmond who last year were just strokes away from getting their their PGA Tour card. And now they’re they’re full throttle, dude. And if someone from this field uh someone you know within the top I don’t know 75 like a like a Cole Hammer like a Martin Leard Nelson Leadisma uh Will McGurt Preston Summer Hayes any of these guys I mean they have such deadly power and they’re so good and if they win boom 600 points now you’re talking Darkhorse coming out of the you know back of the field her to come spin around the turn to the final stretch and like you know like Thornberry did last year. He had to win French lick to get his PGA tour card and he did it. So yeah, uh this is exciting. I mean we’ve been talking about it a lot. I’m sure that our listeners out there are you know some people like it and some people don’t. But hey, you can’t hide in a golf course like we said before. Yeah. And the and the difficulty of the golf courses is really going to start to change. Not that in Nashville it’s not not the hardest course and it’s not the easiest course, but it starts to get progressively tougher as we go. Ohio State. Yeah, you get to Ohio State Charlotte is no joke. It is a tough McKenzie. Very, very, very challenging golf course. Has some Jack Nicholas thumb prints on it of course, but uh very very challenging golf course. Patriot can be really hard. Seen collegiate events where the scoring can be very difficult there. And now it’s becoming a cornfairy tour host. And obviously we know from experience, but also Joe Wiler talked about this during media day for the Cornferry Tour Championship. The players know this is going to be the hardest course they play all year at French Lake. So it’s getting harder each step through. And the idea of winning a tournament at 22, 25, 27 under bar through the finals that those those days are out the window. Yeah. When you when you had to cut it like minus 7, no way that’s going to happen. Um but but you look at the weather aspect of it, too. So Ryan, if you’re looking at Oklahoma in the first week of October, you could get 85 and sunny or you could get 35 and raining. And it’s the same thing with that French lick, too. I mean, you could but we had the uh uh the senior LPGA uh championship, I don’t know, six, seven years ago, and it was 75 and sunny one day, and then the first day of the tournament started to drop down to the 40s, it was raining sideways, people were freezing their tails off. So, it definitely changed the aspect and and the projection of the tournament. So, you know, selfishly, I would love to see a a a fast hard track and the best test of golf with the ideal conditions like they had last year. But I also would think it’d be pretty cool to see, you know, what would happens with a 30 degree wind or 30 mph wind out there like we’ve all seen before, you know, when the when the flag pole on top of the die is bending, you know, just just out of pure boomess of it all. So, yeah, it could be cool, man. We’re looking forward to it. Um, and then you look at some of the players who who started off strong this year. And I think the one thing that stands out in my mind, um, is James Nichols. Uh, we were in the Bahamas. Uh, we met him at a reception. He’s just a dynamite young man. Um, and then, you know, he was literally, I think, in second or third place and comes up on his 16th hole and jacks a nine and boom. I mean, the he’s riding on the rims for the rest of the year. I mean, if he would have finished, you know, top four or five in that tournament, he literally could be contending for his card already. So, it’s just the way it is and it just comes down to one stroke and just could totally throw a monkey wrench into your whole gear box. Yeah. I mean, the good the good news for someone like James who qualified for the US Open on his own is that maybe he’ll thrive on the these tougher courses, these these more challenging tests that are going to be more reminiscent of what you’re going to see on the PGA Tour if you graduate from the Corin Ferry Tour. Feels like there are some players who are just kind of born to play that style of golf a little bit better than the golf we’ve seen so far this year on the Corin Ferry Tour where these guys are lighting up courses. You can’t make them long enough. They’re they’re going after a lot of pins and like said getting into the mid20s under par. We can make it long enough. They couldn’t make it long enough. We can make it long enough. We can make it. We got 8102 at at the Pete D course. I think we make a good argument for it. And but you know, fortunately for the players sake to play at the championship, they’re not going to have that problem. What do What do you What do you think the cool story is? I mean, right now we’re looking at number 75 on the list is Blades Brown. And yeah, if you know, you finish in a top 707 75, you get your your cornfairy status for next year locked up, but does he have the firepower? What if he got his his victory and and projected his way up to the top? You know, that’d be cool. And we and we talked about that where right now where everyone stands, knowing that that kind of thousand point number is the right number and we know now that you get 600 points for a win in the finals instead of 500. So everything’s bumped up 20%. right? That if you’re about 50th right now and you win an event, you pretty much are guaranteed a PGH work for next year. Blaze is just outside as you mentioned. So, he would need probably a win and like a top 10 somewhere to make this happen. Not Not to say that’s impossible, but he’s got nothing to lose. Also, if he’s makes a single cut, he’s probably got full status on the coin fairy tour for next year. He doesn’t have to worry about special temporary membership, Monday qualifying, any of that type of stuff. He can just go out the gate and play. So, rack up some points. He’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain. I think that makes him kind of dangerous. Well, Josh Teter is sitting on number 20 right now. Yeah. So, he’s a dynamite individual. Uh we love him to death and and uh we hope he just gets up there, but everybody’s full throttle. So, yeah, I’m going to be walking the next shells. Uh, I’ll be in I’ll be in Nashville, then I’ll be in Columbus, and then I’m I’m off the road till we go to French Lake. So, it’s cool, man. Well, hey, thanks for the time and and uh hopefully we get uh get get some good results, and we’ll see you soon in French Lake, buddy. That’ll do it for us this week on the road to French Lake. Thanks so much for watching. We appreciate it. The start of the Cornferry Tour Finals begins with the Simmons Bank Open benefiting the Sneder Foundation down in Nashville.
