The Korn Ferry Tour is staying in Tennessee until the next decade.

The KFT announced Tuesday a five-year extension with the Visit Knoxville Open. Along with that, Holston Hills Country Club has agreed to a five-year extension to continue as host of the event.

The Korn Ferry Tour announced its entire 26-event schedule for 2025 about three weeks ago. The tour will visit Tennessee again in September for the Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation in Franklin, Tennessee.

“We are grateful to continue our partnership with Visit Knoxville and excited to build upon our relationship that began in 2019,” said Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin. “Holston Hills Country Club has been a terrific host venue for our Tour and has helped prepare our players for the next level. We are appreciative of the hospitality shown by the Knoxville community.”

The Visit Knoxville Open has been on the tour’s schedule since 1990. It’s one of four tournaments that has been an event on the circuit since it started in 1990. Visit Knoxville joined as title sponsor in 2019. In 2021, Holston Hills, a Donald Ross design, first hosted the event.

The course has also hosted the 2004 Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship and the 2007 Tennessee PGA Championship.
