The four competitors combine for seven New Jersey State Golf Association individual titles. 2023 New Jersey Amateur Champion Wall earned a sponsor exemption and will make his KFT debut and will be completing his collegiate eligibility this year at Texas Tech University.

Live Scoring

Heading into the Magnit Championship, Gotterup (35), Greyserman (9) and McCormick (24) all sit within the top-40 of the Korn Ferry Tour Points List. The top 30 players on the season-long standings at the conclusion of the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour Championship will earn PGA TOUR membership for the 2024 season. 

The Magnit Championship also marks the first time the Korn Ferry Tour will visit the Garden State since the 1997 Laurel Creek Classic, which was played at Laurel Creek Country Club.  

"It's great for the tour, for fans, for everyone involved, because the golf in New Jersey is very strong," Greyserman said to media on Wednesday. "You look at all the courses ranked in the top 100, there's a lot of history in New Jersey. I'm pleased with Korn Ferry coming back here and hopefully they continue this relationship for a long time. For me being close to home means a lot."
