PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Adrien Dumont de Chassart is the eighth Korn Ferry Tour member to achieve #TOURBound status and secure PGA TOUR membership for the 2026 season, as announced Sunday by the Korn Ferry Tour.
Dumont de Chassart closed out a seven-stroke victory at the Compliance Solutions Championship on Sunday evening, catapulting him from No. 26 to No. 6 on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List to effectively secure one of the 20 PGA TOUR cards available through the Points List. Prior to winning Sunday, Dumont de Chassart recorded five top 10s – including three top-five finishes – in 19 starts. In his win at Compliance Solutions, Dumont de Chassart established a new Korn Ferry Tour record for lowest score relative to par, at 33-under par, while his score of 251 is the second-lowest in Korn Ferry Tour history.
A native of Villers-la-Ville, Belgium, Dumont de Chassart previously finished No. 11 on the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour Points List, earning PGA TOUR membership in just 11 starts. Dumont de Chassart joined the Korn Ferry Tour via PGA TOUR University performance benefits, as he finished No. 3 in the 2023 PGA TOUR University Ranking after five seasons at the University of Illinois, where he was a three-time Big Ten Conference Player of the Year.

Dumont de Chassart won his professional and Korn Ferry Tour debut at the 2023 BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX in June, only 12 days after his final collegiate event. Dumont de Chassart lost a playoff the following week and eventually recorded six consecutive top-10 finishes, tying a Korn Ferry Tour record.
At the time, Dumont de Chassart was the first PGA TOUR University alum to earn PGA TOUR membership in the same season they joined the Korn Ferry Tour via PGA TOUR University performance benefits. Karl Vilips accomplished the feat in 2024 and went on to win the 2025 Puerto Rico Open as a PGA TOUR rookie.
Dumont de Chassart finished No. 139 in the 2024 FedExCup Fall standings as a PGA TOUR rookie.
The top 75 players on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List are eligible to compete in next week’s season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing and Finance, scheduled for Oct. 9-12 at French Lick Golf Resort in French Lick, Indiana.
Upon conclusion of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, the top 20 players on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List will earn PGA TOUR membership for the 2026 season. Additionally, the player who finishes No. 1 earns exemptions for the 2026 PLAYERS Championship and 2026 U.S. Open.
