The 2025 Korn Ferry Tour season concludes with the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing and Finance, the 26th and final event of the season.

This week's field is comprised of the top 75 players on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List — all of whom earned fully exempt status for the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. There is no alternate list should any players withdraw, and the only eligible players not in the field are No. 14 Trace Crowe and No. 73 Taylor Montgomery.

Upon conclusion of this week's Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing and Finance, the top 20 players on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List will earn PGA TOUR membership for the 2026 season. Additionally, the No. 1 player will earn exemptions for the 2026 PLAYERS Championship and 2026 U.S. Open.

Players who finish Nos. 21-50 on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List will earn an exemption for the Final Stage of 2025 PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry (Dec. 11-14), where PGA TOUR membership will be awarded to the top five finishers.

The winner of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing and Finance will earn 600 points, meaning all players ranked No. 66 and higher on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List can potentially finish in the top 20 and earn PGA TOUR membership with a victory.

This year marks the 32nd playing of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing and Finance, with French Lick Golf Resort hosting for a second consecutive year.
