“The Korn Ferry Tour’s return to Arlington for the Veritex Bank Championship will be a high point in our 2022 season, and we’re excited to build on the success and excitement surrounding this tournament,” Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin said.

The Veritex Bank Championship will serve as an entertaining sports spectacle for the entire Arlington community. The championship will feature hospitality and entertainment opportunities for all ages. This year, a large portion of the tournament’s net proceeds will support local charities including the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Tarrant County, The Folded Flag Foundation, Camp Esperanza for Kids along with several junior golf programs.

Due to the Easter holiday and to maximize the fan experience, the tournament schedule will be slightly untraditional. The 72-hole championship will begin on Wednesday, April 13 and conclude on Saturday, April 16. The Korn Ferry Tour and tournament staff are extremely excited for the altered schedule and plan for an exciting atmosphere throughout the holiday weekend.

“The Veritex Bank Championship kicks off the professional golf season in DFW,” Anera Sports CEO Rob Addington said. “Good Friday and the Saturday finish will allow for us to create an entertaining sports event for the entire family, and we look forward to crowning another worthy champion.”

With 50 PGA TOUR cards available following each season (since 2013), the Korn Ferry Tour is the path to the PGA TOUR. Twenty-five TOUR cards are reserved for the leading points earners at the end of the 24-event Regular Season. Another 25 are up for grabs at the three-event Korn Ferry Tour Finals following the Regular Season in August and September.

During the PGA TOUR’s 2020-21 season, 35 Korn Ferry Tour alumni won titles. Victor Hovland (Mayakoba Golf Classic presented by UNIFIN), Robert Streb (The RSM Classic) and Cam Davis (Rocket Mortgage Classic) were all 2019 Korn Ferry Tour graduates and claimed PGA TOUR wins last season.

Other notable PGA TOUR players who got their start on the Korn Ferry Tour include major champions Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau, Jason Day, Bubba Watson and Zach Johnson.
