Who's in the field this week at Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron?

The 2026 Albertsons Boise Open is the 20th tournament of the 25-event Korn Ferry Tour season, marking the 36th season in Tour history. The field includes 15 PGA TOUR winners with 25 career victories and 66 Korn Ferry Tour winners with 95 career victories, led by five-time winner Ben Kohles.

Twelve players in the field are ranked inside the top 200 of the Official World Golf Ranking, while the race for the 20 PGA TOUR cards available for the 2027 season continues to intensify.

  • Ben Kohles: The five-time Korn Ferry Tour winner is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 106 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Kohles is one of 15 players in the field with a PGA TOUR victory and leads all Korn Ferry Tour players in the field with five career wins.
  • Doc Redman: Redman reclaimed the No. 1 position on the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour Points List with a solo fourth at last week's Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Woodhouse. The 2017 U.S. Amateur champion has won twice this season and is in line to return to the PGA TOUR after previously playing four consecutive seasons from 2019-23.
  • Ian Holt: Holt sits No. 2 on the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour Points List and, alongside Redman, is one of only two multiple-time winners on Tour this season. Holt has two victories in 2026 and would earn an automatic promotion to the PGA TOUR via the Three-Victory Promotion if he wins again this season.
  • Cole Hammer: Hammer enters the week at No. 21 on the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour Points List, one spot outside the top 20 positions that earn PGA TOUR membership for the 2027 season. He has recorded four top-five finishes this season, tied with Tommy Morrison and Ian Gilligan for the most on Tour.
  • Alistair Docherty: Docherty climbed to No. 4 on the Points List after finishing runner-up to Frankie Harris at last week's Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Woodhouse. Docherty won the 119 Visa Argentina Open presented by Macro earlier this season, earning an exemption into the 2026 The Open Championship.
  • Frankie Harris: Harris arrives in Boise fresh off a historic victory at the Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Woodhouse. He closed with a 12-under 59, including an 8-under 27 on the back nine, to defeat Docherty in a playoff. Harris' 59 was the 18th sub-60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history, while his final-round score was the lowest by a winner in Tour history. He moved to No. 29 on the Points List with the victory.
  • Hunter Eichhorn: Eichhorn stands No. 8 on the Points List and leads the Korn Ferry Tour with eight top-10 finishes this season. His best result came at the Visit Knoxville Open, where he finished runner-up to Redman after losing in a playoff. Eichhorn is one of only two players inside the top 10 on the Points List without a victory this season.
