The tournaments on the Korn Ferry Tour take place mainly in the United States, but attract players from all over the world. This makes it an international stage for up-and-coming talent.

The name of the tour has changed several times over the years and depends on the respective main sponsor. Since 2019, Korn Ferry, a global management consulting firm, has been the name sponsor. The structure and format of the tournaments on the Korn Ferry Tour are very similar to those of the PGA Tour, with four rounds over four days, starting on a Thursday and a cut after the first two rounds.
