Mito Pereira becomes 12th player in Korn Ferry Tour history to earn instant promotion
Mito Pereira earned his third Korn Ferry Tour title of the 2020-21 season Sunday at the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation, finishing 27-under across four rounds in the South Carolina Upstate, four clear of Justin Lower.
With the victory, Pereira becomes the 12th player in Korn Ferry Tour history to earn a Three-Victory Promotion to the PGA TOUR, and the first since Wesley Bryan in 2016.
Pereira also becomes the second consecutive player (Cameron Young) to win back-to-back Korn Ferry Tour events, following his victory at last week’s REX Hospital Open in Raleigh with another title in the Carolinas.
Pereira’s TOUR membership activates immediately, and he will be eligible for the 2021 FedExCup Playoffs if he concludes the regular season inside the top-125 on the FedExCup standings.
