How Many Tours Does The PGA Tour Run? (Golf Monthly)

The PGA Tour runs a number of different professional golf tours, from feeder circuits to its over-50s PGA Tour Champions.

It is an international developmental tour and it provides access to the Korn Ferry Tour as a pathway to the main PGA Tour. Originally named the Senior PGA Tour having been formed in 1980, it settled on its current name of the PGA Tour Champions following the 2015 season. Langer has won over $30m on the PGA Tour Champions and 44 titles as of 2023, one shy of Hale Irwin's record. Ross Kilvington is a freelance writer from Scotland who has had his work published by acclaimed publications such as Nutmeg alongside popular online blogs including the Gentleman Ultra, North Section and Engrossed in Football. The top 30 players on the season-long standings at the conclusion of the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour Championship will earn a PGA Tour membership for the 2024 season. Places six to 50 go to the stage prior to Final Qualifying.

The ones I missed, I misread. He ranked 10th in driving distance, 13th in driving accuracy, fifth in putting and first in eagles with three. “I mean, s**t, you’re in Hualalai.” “I’m trying to get back to being an amateur golfer, mentally,” Tanigawa said this week from Hawaii, where he has continued to stay and play (he has a daughter in Oahu). But you get in the pro game and environment and all of a sudden results matter, and it got hard and kind of ucky. He had to patch the tire. “When you’re a pro golfer, it’s your job and it matters more. There was a time before he ever considered joining PGA TOUR Champions that Tanigawa would have found the thought of not playing or practicing for seven weeks utterly preposterous. What happened to him between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2023? That year, he won the PURE Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach and was named PGA TOUR Champions Rookie of the Year.
