Korn Ferry Tour: Evans Scholars Invitational 2026

The Evans Scholars Invitational returns to The Glen Club in Glenview, Illinois for the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season, running from July 23-26. With $1 million in prize money on the line, the tournament continues to provide a critical platform for professional golfers competing for PGA Tour status. Held at the prestigious par-72 layout, the event attracts both rising talent and established competitors seeking crucial Korn Ferry Tour points and ranking advancement.

The Glen Club has proven to be a challenging and rewarding venue for this tournament. The course, designed by Tom Doak, features strategic bunkering, undulating greens, and thoughtful routing that demands both technical precision and course management. The 2019 edition saw Matt Atkins capture the title at The Glen Club itself, while Scottie Scheffler's 2020 victory at Chicago Highlands Club demonstrated the caliber of talent historically drawn to the Evans Scholars Invitational. Scheffler's subsequent rise to world golf prominence underscores the tournament's importance as a launching pad for elite professional careers.

The tournament's association with the Evans Scholars Foundation adds meaningful purpose beyond competition, as the event supports educational initiatives for caddies pursuing college degrees. This tradition of philanthropy, combined with the significant prize purse and competitive field, makes the Evans Scholars Invitational a marquee event on the Korn Ferry Tour schedule and a vital stepping stone for golfers targeting PGA Tour advancement.
