Fan Favorite Harry Higgs Among 30 Players Who Earned PGA Tour Cards

Harry Higgs, who garnered a following for his colorful celebrations during his first stint on the PGA Tour, is heading back after a banner season on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Higgs officially finished eighth in the standings after a 69^th-place effort at the Korn Ferry Championship in Indiana over the weekend, but he clinched his Tour card over the summer with back-to-back playoff victories, which was a KFT first.

The 32-year-old made the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs in his first year on tour in 2020 and did so again in 2021, a year that saw him finish fourth at the PGA Championship.

But he dropped to No. 147 in the standings in 2022 and No. 132 in 2023, dropping him off the PGA Tour.

He endeared himself to fans this year after his second of the back-to-back victories, paying tribute to the late Grayson Murray, the PGA Tour winner who died of suicide.

“Everyone here could be a difference. The difference.”

Higgs said:

“I would challenge everybody here – and I’m going to do this myself as well each day – to say something nice to someone you love and also make a point to say something nice to someone you do not even know. So, if we can, everybody here could be a difference, the difference, to brighten up somebody’s day. It could mean the world.”

Matt McCarty topped the KFT standings to earn his first Tour card. Finishing second was Max McGreevy, who had 66 starts on the PGA Tour, a runner-up, and two other top-10 finishes.
