On April 25, 2023, the PGA Tour announced the creation of the PGA Tour Americas, a new tour combining the PGA Tour Canada and PGA Tour Latinoamérica into one continental tour.
The top 60 players from the 2023 PGA Tour Latinoamérica and the top 60 players from the 2023 PGA Tour Canada will be exempt through the Latin America swing.[3] After the Latin America swing, the top 60 players will be exempt for the North America swing. Also, the tour will hold a mid-season qualifying tournament to determine additional golfers who will be eligible for the second half of the season. In addition, the golfers ranked 6-20 on the PGA Tour University rankings will be eligible to compete on the North America swing.[3]
After each season, the top ten golfers will receive tour cards for the Korn Ferry Tour for the next season. In addition, the top two finishers from the Latin America swing and the top three finishers from the North American swing, if they finish outside the top ten of the overall rankings, will have conditional membership on the Korn Ferry Tour. In addition, all of those who receive Korn Ferry Tour cards will be exempt into the final stage of the PGA Tour Q-School for the next season.[1] The Fortinet Cup champion (the season-ending leader of the tour's points system) and three-time single-season winners are exempt from reshuffles. The remainder are exempt through the third reshuffle. Those who finish inside the top eighty of the Fortinet Cup standings retain PGA Tour Americas status.
