Chandler Blanchett claims the Cornferry Tour Championship, while Johnny Kefir leads the way for 20 new PGA Tour members. In a thrilling finale, Blanchett secured his second title of the year, finishing with a six under 66 and a total of 14 under par. This performance tied the lowest round of the week at the Pete Die course at French Lick Resort. The 29-year-old Fidian’s impressive season saw him finish second in the seasonl long points list, earning him a coveted PGA Tour card for the upcoming year. However, the top 20 players, including Blanchett, face a unique challenge. They must navigate the delicate balance between maintaining their top spots and avoiding the periodic reshuffles that affect the other 19 graduates. Johnny Kefir, a 24 year old with two wins this season, tied for 12th place in French Lick, Indiana. His performance was enough to retain his position at the top of the standings. In addition to his PGA Tour card, Kefir also earned spots in the prestigious 2026 players championship and US Open. The Cornferry Tour, which previously allocated 30 PGA Tour cards, has felt the impact of the big tour’s reduction in full exempt status cards. Now, only the top 20 players in points will have full KFT status next season, automatically advancing to the final stage of PGA Tour Q School in December, where five cards will be up for grabs. The top 20 finishes this season on the Cornferry Tour are as follows. One, Johnny Kefir. Two, Chandler La Blanchett. Three, Austin Smotherman. Four, Neil Shipley. Five, Emlio Gonzalez. Six, Hank Lebioda. Seven, Adrien Deond de Chassart. Eight, SH Kim. Nine, Christo Lamperect. 10, Davis Chatfield. 11, Zack Bau. 12, Pearson Cudi. 13, St. Lee. 14, Jeffrey Kang. 15, Ken Hiata. 16, Trace Crowe. 17 John Vanelan. 18 Marty Du. 19 Sedashan Yalamaraju. 20 Pontis Niholm.
