2019 Korn Ferry Tour Finals graduates

This is a list of golfers who graduated from the Korn Ferry Tour and Korn Ferry Tour Finals in 2019. ^[1] The top 25 players on the Korn Ferry Tour's regular-season points list in 2019 earned PGA Tour cards for 2020. ^[2] The Finals, which concluded on September 2, determined the other 25 players to earn PGA Tour cards and the initial priority order of all 50.

As in previous seasons, the Finals featured the top 75 players on the Korn Ferry Tour regular season points list, players ranked 126–200 on the PGA Tour's regular-season FedEx Cup points list (except players exempt through other means), non-members of the PGA Tour with enough regular-season FedEx Cup points to place 126–200, and special medical exemptions.

To determine the initial 2020 PGA Tour priority rank, the 25 Korn Ferry Tour regular-season graduates were alternated with the 25 Finals graduates. This priority order was then reshuffled several times during the 2020 season.

Scottie Scheffler was fully exempt for the 2020 PGA Tour season after leading both the full-season and the Finals points list.
