Get ready for an exciting lineup as we unveil the 20 cornfairy tour players who’ve secured their PGA Tour cards for 2026. The battle for these coveted spots was intense and the results are sure to spark some debate. The corn ferry tour finals concluded and 20 players emerged victorious, earning their way onto the prestigious PGA Tour. With only 20 PGA Tour cards up for grabs, the competition was fiercer than ever. No one outside the top 20 could make a lastminute surge, ensuring a tight race to the finish. Every player who made it to the KFT finals has full status on the cornfairy tour for 2026, but 55 players unfortunately missed out on the promotion. Those who finished between 21st and 50th in the season long standings will still have a chance as they’re exempt from the first stage of PGA Tour Q. Meanwhile, players ranked 51st to 75th are exempt from the second stage. Now, let’s meet the 20 Cornferry Tour players who’ve earned their PGA Tour cards. Johnny Kefir. Kefir’s impressive season included two wins and 19 cuts made in 23 starts. He was the first to secure his PGA Tour card based on points, and he’s also exempt from the Players Championship and the US Open. Chandler Blanchett. Blanchett had already locked up his card before the finals, but his win at French Lick proves he’s more than ready for the PGA Tour. He had an impressive six top 10 finishes and two victories this season. Austin Smotherman. Smotherman is making a comeback to the PGA Tour after a remarkable season where he won twice in just three starts. Neil Shipley, the 2023 US amateur runnerup. Shipley also won low amateur honors at the 2024 Masters and US Open. He’s now heading to the PGA Tour. After a successful season with two KFT wins, Emlio Gonzalez Gonzalez secured his PGA Tour card by winning the Albertson’s Boise Open. Hank Lebiota Leota’s first win of the year came at the Bahamas Golf Classic and he maintained his position on the points list throughout the season. Adrien Dumont Desart. Last week, Dumont Desart made history by setting cornfairy tour records in his victory at the Compliance Solutions Championship, ensuring his return to the tour. Sh Kim Kim is returning to the PGA Tour after losing his card in 2024. Christo Lamperect standing tall at 6’8.
