After an exhausting 216 holes on the Korn Ferry Tour finals, Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat came in 22nd in the race to the finals.

 

Top 25 players were given their 2021-22 PGA Tour cards, and Kiradech will once again be the only Thai player on tour.

“Nice to have a tour card back see you on @pgatour next season thanks everyone for your support my sponsor my family coach and caddie”, Kiradech said after his final round.

 

These cards are priceless and can only be gained by performance in qualifying.

 

 

US633 Million total purse for next season

 

PGA Tour players will be competing for even more money in the 2021-2022 season.

 

Commissioner Jay Monahan confirmed on Tuesday at the Tour Championship in Atlanta that the FedEx Cup and Comcast Business Tour Top 10 bonus pools will increase by a combined $15 million to a total of $85 million starting next season.

 

Tournament purses are poised to increase, too, as part of the increase in rights fees related to a new long-term contract with the Tour's TV partners, CBS Sports, NBC Sports Group and ESPN. The tournament purse increases will come in at approximately $35 million next season and largely be reflected in tournaments played in 2022.

 

All told, PGA Tour players will be competing for approximately $633 million, marking an 18 percent increase over this season.

 

Kiradech only has a few days to recover as the 2021-2022 PGA Tour schedule begins Sept. 16 with the Fortinet Championship, played at Silverado Resort in Napa, Calif.

Yup, still a touch inconsistent but the end result was good. Best of luck to him in the coming season as his form seems to have improved somewhat in recent weeks.
