WICHITA, Kan. – University of Memphis golfer Isaiah Jackson will play as an amateur in the Wichita Open, a stop on the newly named Korn Ferry Tour, formerly known as the Web.com Tour.
The PGA Tour and Korn Ferry, a Los Angeles-based company, announced a 10-year sponsorship agreement Wednesday that changed the name of the developmental tour.
Jackson earned a sponsor's exemption into the field by winning last December's Patriot All-America Invitational at Litchfield Park, Ariz. He will tee off at 9 a.m. Thursday.
"This week has been circled on Isaiah's calendar since December," said Tigers golf coach Blake Smart.
