The 2023 Korn Ferry Tour was the 33rd season of the Korn Ferry Tour, the official development tour to the PGA Tour.
Unlike in previous seasons, the Finals did not have a separate points list; the top 30 point winners through the entire season, including the Finals, earned PGA Tour cards. A rule change announced in December 2022 allowed for Korn Ferry Tour members that made the 36-hole cut in the U.S. Open to earn Korn Ferry Tour points equivalent to FedEx Cup points earned for their finish.

The Korn Ferry Tour is the developmental tour for the U.S.-based PGA Tour, and features professional golfers who have either not yet reached the PGA Tour, or who have done so but then failed to win enough FedEx Cup points to stay at that level. Those who are on the top 30 of the money list at year's end are given PGA Tour memberships for the next season. Since the 2013 season, the Korn Ferry Tour has been the primary pathway for those seeking to earn their PGA Tour card.
