Korn Ferry Tour

Pierceson Coody, a three-time winner on the Korn Ferry Tour, finished T6 at last week’s Utah Championship presented by Zions Bank and officially secured his PGA TOUR card for next season. The No. 1 player in the PGA TOUR University Class of 2022 has two wins and four total top-10s this season, and he is assured of a top-30 finish on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List when the season ends in October at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance.

“It's awesome,” Coody said on Sunday afternoon in Utah. “It’s really cool. I feel like I have so much to learn, so much to improve on ... I was never the top junior; I didn’t come into the game that I feel I have right now until my sophomore year of college. I was always like, ‘Let’s see how good we can get.’”

Coody is the sixth PGA TOUR University alumnus to earn PGA TOUR membership, joining current members Ludvig Aberg (Class of 2023), Austin Eckroat (2021), Davis Thompson (2021), Trevor Werbylo (2021) and Kevin Yu (2021).

Five alumni are currently in the top-30 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List, including Pierceson’s twin brother, Parker Coody (No. 26). Adrien Dumont de Chassart (No. 6), Jackson Suber (No. 18) and Jacob Bridgeman (No. 29) are also in position to earn their PGA TOUR cards via Korn Ferry Tour points with six events remaining.

After starting his pro career with five straight top-10s, Sam Choi broke through in his seventh start with a win at last week’s Windsor Championship. Choi is the 10th PGA TOUR University alumnus to post a professional victory, and the total alumni win count is now 14.

Choi competed at the University of New Mexico for four seasons, and he was a graduate transfer at Pepperdine for 2022-23, where he earned GCAA/PING All-America Honors for the third time in his career and finished No. 11 in the 2023 PGA TOUR University Ranking. With the victory, Choi moved to No. 2 in the Fortinet Cup Standings with just three events remaining in the season.

Cameron Sisk (Class of 2022) posted a season-best T2 finish last week and improved 26 spots to No. 20 in the Fortinet Cup. John Pak (Class of 2021) is No. 4 in the season-long points race, while 2023 grad Connor Howe is currently No. 12.

The top Fortinet Cup points-earner gains membership to the full 2024 Korn Ferry Tour season, while the second through fifth finishers earn conditional membership in the 2024 season. All top-five finishers are also exempt into the Final Stage of 2023 PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry.
