Changes for 2024

The inaugural schedule for the new tour was released in November 2023. It featured a six-event "Latin America Swing" (events formerly played on PGA Tour Latinoamérica), and a 10-event "North America Swing" (events formerly played on PGA Tour Canada). The top 10 players on the points list at the end of the season earn status for the following Korn Ferry Tour season. [1]

The points list was title sponsored as the Fortinet Cup, with Fortinet continuing their sponsorship from PGA Tour Canada since 2022. [2]

Points list

The points list was titled as the Fortinet Cup and was based on tournament results during the season, calculated using a points-based system. [4] The top 10 players on the points list earned status to play on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour. However, when second placed Frederik Kjettrup (1,702 points) joined LIV Golf in December 2024, he became ineligible for the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour, [5] and under Tour rules, removed from the points list. All other golfers were moved up, and Stuart Macdonald was awarded status by moving to 10th place on the status list. [6] [7]

Notes

  1. ↑ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour Americas events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on PGA Tour Americas as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour.
