College golfers now have two opportunities to land on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour Policy Board on Monday approved changes to the PGA Tour University program that will grant the top-finishing senior a Tour card at the end of the college season. The Tour is also introducing an “Accelerated” program that would allow high-performing underclassmen a direct pathway to the Tour if he crosses a certain threshold.
Both changes – which were first reported by Golf Channel last month – are effective immediately.
The PGA Tour University program, based on a senior’s performance in eligible college and professional tournaments, was unveiled in 2020 and offered access to the Korn Ferry Tour.
