Get ready to meet the 20 newest PGA Tour members as the 2025 Cornferryy Tour season comes to a thrilling close. But here’s where it gets exciting. 20 PGA Tour cards were up for grabs, and the competition was fierce. The top 20 players on the 2025 Cornferry Tour points list secured their spots for the 2026 season, which kicks off in January. And this is just the beginning of their journey to golf’s biggest stage. Chandler Blanche stole the show with a stunning six under 66 in the final round, claiming victory at the cornfairy tour championship and his second win of the season. But here’s a fun fact. Blanch’s win was just two strokes ahead of Baron Boa, who needed a win to potentially crack the top 20. Talk about a nailbiter. Now, let’s dive into the numbers. 12 of these players are PGA Tour rookies representing nine countries and territories. And this is the part most people miss. Two of them are PGA Tour University alums, proving that the program is a launching pad for future stars. Johnny Kefir, the number one player on the points list, had a record-breaking season, shattering the single season scoring average record previously held by Luke Guthrie. Here’s a controversial take. With so many international players joining the PGA Tour, is the tour becoming a truly global phenomenon, or is it losing its American identity? Let’s spark a debate in the comments. Each of these graduates has a unique story. From Neil Shipley’s comeback victories to Alio Gonzalez’s journey from Mexico to the PGA Tour. But wait, there’s more. Adrien Dumont Desart’s record- setting victory at the Compliance Solutions Championship will go down in history. And let’s not forget Crystal Lamperect, the 6’8 South African who’s already making waves. As we celebrate these graduates, we can’t help but wonder who will be the next big star. Will it be Davis Chatfield, still seeking his first PGA Tour win, or Zack Bowcow, who finally secured his card after years of struggle? The possibilities are endless, and the future is bright for these talented golfers. So, what’s your take on this year’s Corn Fairy Tour graduates?
