The top five finishers will earn their PGA Tour cards for 2027, while those ranked sixth to 45th will receive membership for the second-tier Korn Ferry Tour in the following year.
Shin Sang-hun plans to focus on his game during the qualifying tournament.

The next four golfers in the KPGA points standings will also participate in the US tour qualifying tournaments.
