The 2023 Korn Ferry Tour Finals, the series of four golf tournaments that determined the 30 golfers that earned PGA Tour cards for the 2024 season, was played from August 12 to October 8. It included the following four events:

Date	Tournament	Location	Purse (US$)	Field Size

Sep 14–17		College Grove, Tennessee	1,500,000	144

Changes for 2023

Unlike in previous seasons, the Finals will not have a separate points list; the top 30 point earners through the entire season, including the Finals, will earn PGA Tour cards. The FedEx Cup standings are no longer criteria for Korn Ferry Tour Finals eligibility. Also, the finals will feature elimination after each event. For the first three events, if a players opts out, their spot will go to the next highest ranked golfer. For the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, only the top 75 ranked golfers will be eligible. All players who qualify for the Korn Ferry Tour Championship are fully exempt for the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour. Players who finish 76 to 100 are conditionally exempt. ^{[1] [2]}
