AdventHealth Championship: Key storylines, tournament facts and more

Following a two-week break in the schedule, the Korn Ferry Tour resumes in Kansas City, Missouri, for the AdventHealth Championship, the 10th tournament in the 26-event season. With three past champions in the field and seven of the eight winners from this season, it's set for another exciting week at the Blue Hills Country Club as the Korn Ferry Tour Points List and the race for PGA TOUR cards continues to heat up. See key storylines below.

The year of the up-and-comer?

Each winner in the first eight events of the season were first-time winners on the Korn Ferry Tour, tying the second-longest streak of first-time winners to open a season in Korn Ferry Tour history. Each of the winners currently sit within the top 30 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List. The top 30 at the conclusion of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals will earn PGA TOUR cards for the 2025 season.

The race for TOUR cards

Five of the seven players who finished T5 or higher at the 2023 AdventHealth Championship went on to earn PGA TOUR cards at season’s end, including Grayson Murray (winner), Rico Hoey (T2), Wilson Furr (T2), Alejandro Tosti (4th) and Parker Coody (T5). Tom Widing, who currently sits at No. 1 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List. is the only player this season with two victories after back-to-back wins at the LECOM Suncoast Classic and the Veritex Bank Championship. He isn't in the field this week and is instead playing in this week's PGA Championship, where he earned a special exemption.

Broken records galore in 2024

South African Aldrich Potgieter, the youngest Korn Ferry Tour member this season, won The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic at The Abaco Club in January and became the youngest winner on either the Korn Ferry Tour or PGA TOUR since 1931 (19 years, 4 months, and 11 days). Two weeks later at the Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard, Potgieter carded a second-round 11-under 59 and became the youngest player to record a sub-60 round in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event. Also at the Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard, 30-year-old Chilean Cristobal Del Solar carded the lowest 18-hole score ever recorded in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event with a 13-under 57. Del Solar topped the previous record of 58, previously achieved by Jim Furyk (PGA TOUR’s 2016 Travelers Championship) and Stephan Jaeger (Korn Ferry Tour’s 2016 Ellie Mae Classic at TPC Stonebrae).
