Tournaments as the source lists them, by season.
What it does not have
- Seasons are ESPN's: 2020 and 2021 were one combined season and are stored as 2020 (46 tournaments).
- Five tournaments from 2013 to 2017 have no leaderboard in the source and are listed without results. Earnings for about a quarter of 2007 players, nearly all from 2008.
- Par and yardage per hole for about a third of course setups; every round's holes carry their par.
- No driving, greens or putting lines, and no odds (ESPN publishes none for golf).
Questions
Which Korn Ferry seasons are covered?
2007 to today: full leaderboards for 524 finished tournaments (measured Oct 8 2026). 2020 and 2021 were one combined season, stored as 2020.
How do I ask for Korn Ferry Tour data?
Every tool takes league: "kornferry". Seasons are calendar years except the combined 2020-21 season.
Can I follow a player from the Korn Ferry Tour to the PGA Tour?
Yes. ESPN keeps one id per player across tours, so the same player_id works with league=kornferry and on the PGA Tour. Each tour's rating is measured against its own fields.
