On Sunday, 30 PGA Tour cards for the 2024 season were awarded following the Korn Ferry Tour Championship. Of those 30 players, five players who began the week of the season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Championship outside of the top 30 on the points list played their way into the top 30 — championship winner Paul Barjon (from No. 45 to No. 8), Mac Meissner (No. 35 to No. 20), Wilson Furr (No. 32 to No. 24), Josh Teater (No. 34 to No. 26) and Roger Sloan (No. 31 to No. 29). Eighteen of the 30 will be PGA Tour rookies, while Parker and Pierceson Coody will join Allan and Curtis Strange as the only other twins to simultaneously hold PGA Tour membership. The Stranges accomplished the feat in 1981.
