    Russia’s Egor Eroshenko is set for his PGA TOUR debut, just a few months into his professional career.

    Eroshenko earned one of four available spots at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship’s Monday qualifier, pacing the field with a 6-under 66 at Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate's International Course. Luke Schniederjans, Tyler Collet and Ethan Cairns also qualified at 5-under 67.

    The Butterfield Bermuda Championship qualifier was contested Oct. 21, three weeks before the tournament, which will be contested for the sixth consecutive year at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda.

    Eroshenko recently turned pro after a four-year college career at the University of Central Florida, and the Butterfield Bermuda Championship qualifier was contested just 40 miles from his college campus. He has already won on the Minor League Golf Tour, at last month’s Westchester CC 2-Day in South Florida, where he bested several veteran pros. Now he has earned a tee time on the PGA TOUR.

    The Butterfield Bermuda Championship will mark the penultimate event of the FedExCup Fall. The top 125 on the FedExCup Fall standings after The RSM Classic will be fully exempt on the 2025 PGA TOUR.
