[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The U.S. Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour is lowering the entry barriers.
On the 29th (Korean time), it announced, "Next year, the top 30 players in the Korn Ferry (2nd tier) Tour points ranking will be awarded PGA Tour cards for 2024." Currently, only the top 25 players are granted eligibility to compete in the regular tour. Additionally, the PGA Tour will grant 2024 regular season seeds to the top 10 players of next year's DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour). The previously abolished Qualifying (Q) School will also be revived next year. The top 5 players will receive first-tier tour cards.

Until now, the only way to advance to the PGA Tour was to pass the Korn Ferry Tour Q School and finish within the top 25 after playing for one year. The PGA Tour's decision to lower the entry barriers is intended to secure promising golfers in competition with LIV Golf, which is supported by Saudi Arabian capital. The diversification and expansion of entry routes to the PGA Tour is good news for domestic players aiming to enter the U.S. stage. Kim Bi-o (32) and Shin Sang-hoon (24), among others, plan to apply for the Korn Ferry Tour Q School.
