Oct 08, 2026 | Men's Golf
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Former Kansas State men's golfer Jeremy Gandon was rewarded for his performance on the Korn Ferry Tour this season, as he earned his PGA Tour card for the 2027 season.
Â
Heading into this weekend's Korn Ferry Tour Championship – which runs Thursday through Sunday – Gandon currently ranks 13th on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List at 1083.246 and is guaranteed to remain among the top 20 players that automatically qualify for PGA Tour membership. This was Gandon's third season on the Korn Ferry Tour, and he narrowly missed out on a PGA Tour card last year with a No. 22 finish on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List.
Â
A native of Charpey, France, who has played in 58 career Korn Ferry Tour events, Gandon has earned five top-10 appearances this year, including a victory in the LECOM Suncoast Classic in April. It was the second Korn Ferry Tour win of his career after claiming the 2025 Club Car Championship. In addition to his win this season, he also earned a tie for fourth place in The Panama Championship, a tie for seventh place in the Albertsons Boise Open and a tie for ninth place in both The Blue Championship and The Utah Championship.
Â
Gandon is the second former Wildcat to play on the PGA Tour in the last 15 years, joining Robert Streb (2013-26). The 2027 PGA Tour season begins with The American Express at PGA WEST in La Quinta, California, January 21-24.
