A week after clinching his 2025 PGA Tour, Frankie Capan III has his first professional victory.
Capan shot a final-round 70 to finish the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship at 13 under, two shots clear of the field at Ohio State University Golf Club’s Scarlet Course. He had 18 birdies and an eagle over the four rounds and was steady down the stretch, making six straight pars to hold the field at bay. He earned $270,000 for the victory.
Capan earned his promotion for next season last Sunday after tying for 12th at the 2024 Simmons Bank Open in Franklin, Tennessee. That was enough to clinch a top-30 spot on the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour Points List, earning him his 2025 PGA Tour card.
There’s one event left on the Korn Ferry Tour’s 2024 season, the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Golf Resort in Indiana. At the conclusion, all 30 cards will be determined. There were 17 who earned their PGA Tour cards ahead of the Nationwide event.
