Seventeen of the 25 PGA TOUR cards distributed at the completion of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship at Victoria National Golf Club remain up for grabs and the equation for the four Aussie hopefuls is simple.

Harrison Endycott has already secured his promotion by virtue of finishing in the top 25 on the regular season points list and now Aaron Baddeley, Min Woo Lee, Jason Scrivener and Anthony Quayle have one last chance to join him.

A four-time winner on the PGA TOUR, Baddeley is the best placed of the Aussie contingent through the first two weeks of the finals.

With a projected points target of 210 needed to earn promotion, Baddeley’s 81.269 points through the first two events puts him in 46th position. His minimum finish this week to reach the fail-safe threshold would be solo 12th or better.

The challenge is slightly steeper for both Scrivener and Lee.

The pair both missed the cut last week so have 60.5 points, tied for 52nd. If they are to secure positioning in the Korn Ferry Tour graduate category on the 2022-23 TOUR Priority Ranking they will need to finish solo 10th or better.

Min Woo Lee had one of the more interesting PGA Tour seasons in recent memory.

Lee made just 3 cuts in 12 PGA Tour starts, all of which were major championships.

One of the last players to qualify for the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, Quayle requires nothing less than a two-way tie for fifth or better to play on the PGA TOUR next season.

Following her withdrawal nine holes into the CP Women’s Open last week due to illness, Minjee Lee headlines the Aussie charge at the LPGA Tour’s Dana Open in Ohio.

The US Women’s Open champion is among the five major winners this year in the field alongside fellow Australians Hannah Green, Stephanie Kyriacou, Sarah Kemp, Su Oh and Sarah Jane Smith.

There are five Aussies in the field at both the Made in Himmerland tournament on the DP World Tour and the Fuji Sankei Classic in Japan and eight Australians will hope to advance their standings at the Epson Tour’s Wildhorse Ladies Classic in Oregon.

With just five events left in the season, three Aussies are prominent in the Race to the Card standings that determines the 10 players who receive LPGA Tour cards in 2023.

Two of those cards have already been wrapped up but Grace Kim (fifth), Robyn Choi (11th) and Gabriela Ruffels (14th) can all improve their prospects of promotion with a strong showing this week, Choi and Kim paired together for the opening round.
