Oklahoma State Has Four Players in Position for PGA TOUR University Benefits
Oklahoma State’s depth could lead to a PGA TOUR University first. Since the program’s inaugural graduating class in 2021, eight schools have had three seniors from the same class earn benefits. Oklahoma State has an opportunity to become the first with four PGA TOUR University graduates from one class.
The final ranking determines professional membership for the Class of 2027. The No. 1 player earns PGA TOUR membership, Nos. 2 through 10 earn Korn Ferry Tour membership and Nos. 11 through 25 earn PGA TOUR Americas membership.
The ranking period concludes May 31, 2027, following the final round of stroke play at the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship.
