The 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season continues with the Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard, the fourth tournament of the 25-event schedule and the second of five events to be contested in Latin America.

This will be the 16th playing of the Astara Golf Championship. Country Club de Bogotá has hosted every iteration of the event since its inaugural playing in 2010.

Notables in the field

• Ian Holt became the first player in Korn Ferry Tour history to win two of the season's first three events, as he won the last two events on Tour – The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic at The Abaco Club and The Panama Championship. Holt rose to No. 109 in the Official World Golf Ranking off the strength of those victories. With a third victory, Holt would earn an automatic promotion to the PGA TOUR via the Three-Victory Promotion. Holt entered 2026 with two top 10s in 43 career starts on Tour.

• Five-time PGA TOUR winner Camilo Villegas will make his third appearance at the Astara Golf Championship; he most recently missed the cut in 2023, but finished T4 at the event in 2020. Villegas holds Korn Ferry Tour membership this season via a T7 finish at Final Stage of 2025 PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry, where he fell one stroke shy of a playoff for a PGA TOUR card.
• PGA TOUR winner Adam Hadwin recorded a runner-up finish at The Panama Championship last week, his first Korn Ferry Tour start since 2014, when he finished No. 1 in the standings off the strength of victories at the Astara Chile Classic presented by Scotiabank and Chiquita Classic. Hadwin holds conditional status on the PGA TOUR and Korn Ferry Tour this season from his No. 139 finish in the 2025 FedExCup Fall standings.
