This article is part of our Golf Draft Kit series.
Below are our 2020-21 projected earnings rankings.
Because of the unique 2019-20 schedule thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PGA Tour changed its qualifying rules for the 2020-21 season
• Every golfer who had a PGA Tour card in 2019-20 will retain it in 2020-21. In addition to those golfers, this list includes:
• Rookies from Korn Ferry Tour (R)
• Non-Rookies from Korn Ferry Tour (K)
• Newcomers (N) — Golfers who earned enough non-member FedEx Cup points in 2019-20 (equivalent to at least No. 125 in the FedEx Cup standings)
Ranking is ordered by 2020-21 projected earnings.
