The Korn Ferry Tour Finals will be held at French Lick Resort in Indiana September 29-October 6.
The Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance will be contested on The Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort, September 29 to October 6. Korn Ferry’s annual season-ending tournament and the hallowed PGA Tour Card Ceremony will be on The Pete Dye Course through 2028 as part of a five-year partnership with the resort.
“We are looking forward to our partnership with French Lick Resort and working with their team of great people,” said Ronald D. Romain, Executive Chairman of United Leasing & Finance, an official sponsor of Korn Ferry Tour events since 2012. “The Pete Dye Course is a world-class venue, and I am eager to see how Korn Ferry Tour players navigate their way around this difficult golf course.”
Founded in 1990 and owned and operated by the PGA Tour, Korn Ferry is the developmental circuit of the PGA Tour. It awards 30 PGA Tour cards based off its points list in 2023, with the No. 1 player earning exemptions into the following year’s Players Championship and U.S. Open. With more than 600 PGA Tour titles, 28 major championships and six FedEx Cup champions, Korn Ferry Tour alumni make up 88 percent of the PGA Tour’s current membership.
The Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort was named Jemsek National Course of the Year by the National Golf Course Owners Association in 2009 and again in 2017. The course was also No. 19 in the 2023 edition of Golf Digest’s ranking of America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses, and it has been named No. 1 public course in Indiana for 15 consecutive years in Golfweek’s “Best You Can Play” ratings.
“We are incredibly excited for the future of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance as it moves to The Pete Dye Course at French Lick,” said Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin. “Adding a demanding, championship-caliber golf course to our schedule, especially for our season-ending event, ensures the top-performing players on the Korn Ferry Tour will be put to the test as they compete to earn PGA Tour membership.”
