- This is a list of golfers who graduated from the Korn Ferry Tour and Korn Ferry Tour Finals in 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no graduating class in 2020, and the 2020 Korn Ferry Tour season extended into 2021. The top 25 players on the 2020–21 Korn Ferry Tour regular-season points list earned PGA Tour cards for 2021–22. The Finals determined the other 25 players to earn PGA Tour cards and the initial priority order of all 50. As in previous seasons, the Finals featured the top 75 players on the Korn Ferry Tour regular season points list, players ranked 126–200 on the PGA Tour's regular-season FedEx Cup points list (except players exempt through other means), non-members of the PGA Tour with enough regular-season FedEx Cup points to place 126–200, and special medical exemptions. Since the Finals were not held in 2020, PGA Tour players who finished outside the top 200 of the FedEx Cup in 2021 but inside the top 200 in 2020 are eligible to compete; non-members who earned enough points in 2020 to equal 200th place in 2021 were also eligible. To determine the initial 2021–22 PGA Tour priority rank, the 25 Korn Ferry Tour regular-season graduates were alternated with the 25 Finals graduates. This priority order was then reshuffled several times during the 2021–22 season based on the FedEx Cup standings. Stephan Jäger and Joseph Bramlett were fully exempt for the 2021–22 PGA Tour season after leading the full-season and Finals points lists, respectively. Mito Pereira was also fully exempt due to winning three times during the Korn Ferry Tour season, as was Will Zalatoris due to FedEx Cup points earned as a non-member in the 2021 PGA Tour season. (en)
