SAVANNAH, Georgia – Six players from the PGA TOUR University presented by Velocity Global Class of 2021 finished in the top 40 at Final Stage of Q-School and earned guaranteed starts on the Korn Ferry Tour next season. Jonathan Brightwell finished T2 at 13-under and Michael Feagles finished T5 at 11-under, and both players earned 12 guaranteed starts by virtue of their finishes in the top 10 (and ties).

Among the nine PGA TOUR University alumni in the field, Davis Thompson made the biggest move Monday.

Also earning eight starts were Mac Meissner (T19), Garett Reband (T19) and John Pak (T39).

In all, seven PGA TOUR University alumni will be eligible for the first eight events of the Korn Ferry Tour’s 2022 season. In addition to the six players who finished in the top 40 (and ties) at Q-School, Trevor Werbylo is fully exempt next season as the winner of the 2021 Forme Tour points title.
