Former Kansas State men’s golfer Jeremy Gandon was rewarded for his performance on the Korn Ferry Tour this season, earning his PGA Tour card for the 2027 season.
Heading into this weekend’s Korn Ferry Tour Championship — which started on Thursday and runs through Sunday — Gandon currently ranks 13th on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List at 1083.246 and is guaranteed to remain among the top 20 players that automatically qualify for PGA Tour membership.
This was Gandon’s third season on the Korn Ferry Tour, and he narrowly missed out on a PGA Tour card last year with a No. 22 finish on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List.
A native of Charpey, France, who has played in 58 career Korn Ferry Tour events, Gandon has earned five top-10 appearances this year, including a victory in the LECOM Suncoast Classic in April.
It was the second Korn Ferry Tour win of his career after claiming the 2025 Club Car Championship. In addition to his win this season, he also earned a tie for fourth place in The Panama Championship, a tie for seventh place in the Albertsons Boise Open and a tie for ninth place in both The Blue Championship and The Utah Championship.
As a junior at K-State during the 2017-18 season, Gandon became just the second player in school history to win a individual conference title, the first since Graham Hunt in 1951. His 72-hole score of 283 at the Big 12 Championship was the second lowest in school history.
As a senior, Gandon was one of three Wildcats to earn an individual bid to the NCAA Athens Regional, his second regional in as many years. He Carded 8-over par 221 to tie for 36th in the Athens Regional.
Gandon was named to the Big 12 Tournament Team for a three times in his career and concluded his his time in Manhattan ranking second all-time in wins with four, one shy of the school record.
During that final senior season, Gandon participated in all 11 events and finished sixth in school history with a 71.88 stroke average.
Gandon is the second former Wildcat to play on the PGA Tour in the last 15 years, joining Robert Streb (2013-26). The 2027 PGA Tour season begins with The American Express at PGA WEST in La Quinta, California, January 21-24.
