JGAA Alumni Matthew McCarty captures his third win on the Korn Ferry Tour in the last six weeks. McCarty will now be exempt on the PGA TOUR for the FedExCup Fall, and for next season, after his historic run and recent two-stroke victory at the Albertson’s Boise Open to earn the coveted Three-Victory Promotion. He is the first Korn Ferry player since 2016 to win three events in one season.
McCarty, who held a three-stroke lead after 36 holes and entered the final round with a one-shot advantage, navigated four bogeys with six birdies to card a 2-under 69 on Sunday at Hillcrest Country Club. The Scottsdale, Arizona native finished the tournament at 21-under 263, securing a two-stroke victory over Kevin Roy and William Mouw.
The win allowed him to officially claim a PGA TOUR card Sunday evening in Boise.
McCarty became the first player since Mito Pereira to secure the prestigious Three-Victory Promotion, which grants him immediate eligibility for PGA TOUR events. This accomplishment ensures he will join the TOUR’s priority ranking for the upcoming FedExCup Fall.
The former JGAA standout looks to wrap up the Korn Ferry Tour season No. 1 on the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour Points List. He currently sits in the top spot, extending his lead to 687 points. The No. 1 player also earns exemptions for the 2025 PLAYERS Championship and 2025 U.S. Open.
We congratulate Matthew for his recent success and cheer him on as he continues to finish out his season on the Korn Ferry Tour before making his PGA TOUR Debut in the Fall.
