The PGA Tour's eight-event fall series begins this week, giving players an opportunity to secure playing privileges for 2027 and qualify for two early-season signature events.
The inaugural Biltmore Championship opens Sept. 17 at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, a par-71 course in Asheville, North Carolina. The four-day tournament offers a $5 million purse.
Following the regular season and playoffs, the fall series allows players further down the FedEx Cup standings to improve their positions. Those finishing in the top 100 will retain their PGA Tour cards for next season, while players seeking entry into two early-season signature events must reach the top 60.
South Korea's Noh Seung-yul is in the field as he seeks to regain his PGA Tour card. He made two cuts in four PGA Tour starts this year, with a best finish of 18th at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. On the developmental Korn Ferry Tour, he made eight cuts in 17 starts.
Also competing is American Jackson Koivun, who won the 3M Open in July, a month after turning professional. He sits 67th in the FedEx Cup standings after playing just seven events and will look to improve his ranking during the fall series.
Fellow American Jacob Bridgeman, who won the Genesis Invitational in February and reached the season-ending Tour Championship, will pursue his second PGA Tour title.
