The 2025 Korn Ferry Tour season continues with the 15th edition of the Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard at the historic Country Club de Bogota-Lagos in Bogota, Colombia.
The tournament is set to showcase an impressive field of Korn Ferry Tour talent, including current Korn Ferry Tour Points List front-runner Hank Lebioda. Josh Teater, ranked second to Lebioda in the Points List, returns coming off a victory at The Panama Championship, his first PGA TOUR-sanctioned win since 2009.
Last year's Astara Golf Championship had its fair share of historical moments, including Cristobal Del Solar's record-breaking 57 in the opening round and Aldrich Potgieter's 59 the following day. Kevin Velo won at 22-under par, his first win of the season en-route finishing No. 15 on the Points List and earning his PGA TOUR card for the 2025 season. Del Solar and Potgieter both went on to earn PGA TOUR cards as well, finishing No. 14 and No. 29, respectively.
