Changes Coming to Korn Ferry Tour in 2023 The Korn Ferry Tour has been visiting the Scarlet Course at Ohio State University for 16 years. It has always been one of the last events of the season and players were under pressure to perform well to move inside the top Top 25 to earn PGA Tour cards for the next year. With several changes on the PGA Tour, the Korn Ferry Tour will be seeing a few changes, as well. One is that the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship will move from its historic late August date to September 18-24. Ohio Golf Journal
