Seven PGA Tour cards still up for grabs at the season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Championship

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that Tommy Morrison, Hunter Eichhorn, Dylan Menante, Cooper Dossey, Michael Johnson and Jeremy Gandon all achieved TourBound status, as all six are mathematically assured of finishing in the top 20 of the Korn Ferry Tour Points List and earning PGA Tour membership for the 2027 season.

Ahead of this week’s Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by Virginia’s Richmond Region (Oct. 8-11), the 25th and final event of the 2026 season, the top-13 players on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List are officially TourBound. Of the 13 players assured of PGA Tour membership, 12 will be receiving their first PGA Tour card.

Morrison earned Korn Ferry Tour membership with a No. 6 finish in the 2026 PGA Tour University Ranking after three and a half seasons at the University of Texas. Playing from Dallas, Texas, Morrison recorded top-10 finishes in each of his first five starts on the Korn Ferry Tour. Those performances included a win at the Evans Scholars Invitational, a runner-up finish at The Blue Championship and a playoff runner-up finish at the Utah Championship presented by Zions Bank and Intermountain Health.

Eichhorn secured a PGA Tour card in his first season with Korn Ferry Tour membership. One of three players with nine top-10 finishes this season, Eichhorn recorded a season-high finish at the 2026 Visit Knoxville Open, where he lost in a playoff to Doc Redman.

Hailing from Carney, Michigan, a village in the state’s Upper Peninsula with a population of less than 200 people, Eichhorn played five seasons at Marquette University, where he earned six individual victories and was a three-time Big East Conference Player of the Year.

Menante earned his first PGA Tour card in his second season on the Korn Ferry Tour, as he previously finished No. 53 on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List when a rookie. Menante earned his first Korn Ferry Tour title at the 2026 Tulum Championship at PGA Riviera Maya, where he posted a final-round 9-under 63 for a six-stroke victory over Blades Brown.

A native of Reno, Nevada, Menante finished No. 15 in the 2024 PGA Tour University Ranking after three seasons at Pepperdine University (2019-2022) and two seasons at the University of North Carolina (2022-24).

Dossey earned PGA Tour membership in his third season on the Korn Ferry Tour, as he previously finished No. 76 on the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour Points List when a rookie and No. 44 on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List.

Dossey moved into the top 10 of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour Points List after a T2 finish at the Astara Chile Classic presented by Scotiabank in March, and he later solidified his position in the top 20 with back-to-back finishes of T6 and T4 at the Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation and Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, the first two events of the season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Finals.

Dossey turned professional in 2021 after five seasons at Baylor University, where he earned three collegiate victories in addition to the 2019 North & South Amateur Championship.

Johnson earned his first PGA Tour card, having turned professional out of Auburn University in 2016. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Johnson played eight of the last nine seasons on the Korn Ferry Tour. This year marked his second top-50 finish in the standings, as he previously finished No. 48 in 2025.

Johnson owns 14 top-25 finishes in 24 starts this season, highlighted by a T2 finish at the 2026 Astara Chile Classic.

Gandon earned PGA Tour membership for the first time in his third season on the Korn Ferry Tour after narrowly missing out on a PGA Tour card last year with a No. 22 finish on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List. Gandon won the 2026 LECOM Suncoast Classic in April, marking his second consecutive season with a win.

Hailing from Charpey, France, Gandon turned professional in 2019 after four seasons at Kansas State University, where he earned four individual victories, including co-medalist honors at the 2018 Big 12 Conference Championship.

All four rounds of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship will air on Golf Channel, with live telecast coverage from 3-6 p.m. ET Thursday and Friday and 1-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Live coverage of the TourBound Card Ceremony will stream on the Golf Channel app after play ends on Sunday.
