Five players are tied atop the leaderboard at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, a key Korn Ferry Tour event being held at Ohio State’s Scarlet Course this week.
Noah Goodwin, Thomas Rosenmueller, Tano Goya, Dalton Ward and Matt McCarty each shot 66 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead over Hank Lebioda and Kris Ventura.
McCarty is the top-ranked player on the Korn Ferry Tour this year, and Rosenmueller is No. 5. Goodwin is No. 8, Ward is No. 11 and Goya is No. 20.
The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship is the third of four Finals events on the Korn Ferry Tour. After Sunday’s final round, only 75 will get a chance to play next week in the tour’s championship in French Lick, Indiana, after which the top 30 on the season-ending points list will receive PGA Tour cards for 2025.
Fourteen players already wrapped up their cards, leaving 16 more to be had.
The Finals also locks in the top-75 players for exempt Korn Ferry status next season and the top-100 for conditional Korn Ferry status.
The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship field, which includes the top 25 on the Korn Ferry points list, will be cut to the top 65 players and ties after 36 holes. The purse is $1.5 million with the winner collecting $270,000 and 600 points toward his season total.
