Having lost his PGA Tour card after finishing 119th in the FedEx Cup standings in 2024, Wu's T31 finish in 2025 was insufficient to re-earn his card.

Justin Suh, a 28-year-old former PGA Tour player from San Jose, finished 24th in the Korn Ferry standings, just outside the top 20, after a T31 finish, despite winning the Argentina Open and earning two other top-10s in 2025.

Three PGA Tour veterans failed to regain their Tour cards at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship but secured full status on the Korn Ferry Tour for 2026, leaving the door open for future attempts.

Although they missed out this time, these players are still high enough in the Korn Ferry standings to attempt regaining their PGA Tour cards in the future.

All three veterans demonstrated resilience by finishing high enough in the Korn Ferry standings to secure full status for 2026, despite narrowly missing out on regaining their PGA Tour privileges.

Russell Knox, a seasoned Scottish golfer with notable wins including the 2015 WGC-HSBC Championship and the 2016 Travelers Championship, finished 36th in the Korn Ferry standings after a T55 finish at the championship, narrowly missing the top 20 cutoff for a PGA Tour card.

Despite his past successes, Knox's recent performances have not been enough to secure a tour card for 2026, reflecting the competitive nature of maintaining PGA Tour status.

Knox's recent form includes a 68th place finish at the Corales Puntacana Championship in 2025 and participation in ten PGA Tour events in 2024, with some missed cuts and a low FedEx Cup standing in 2022-23.

Dylan Wu, 29, who played 33 PGA Tour events in 2022-23 and kept his card that year, fell to 69th in the Korn Ferry standings after a T31 finish, failing to qualify for a PGA Tour card for 2026.

Wu's 2024 season included only one top-ten finish and 28 starts, marking a decline from previous seasons where he maintained his card through consistent performance.
