Parker Coody earned a special exemption to compete in the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge but gave up the opportunity to play on the Korn Ferry Tour. He was in good form last year and confident in his ability to earn a PGA Tour card.
Coody faced a perplexing decision: either play on the Korn Ferry Tour or make use of the opportunity to compete in the PGA Tour event. Ultimately, he decided to play in the 2023 Visit Knoxville Open, which was held the same week as the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge. He was impressive last season on the Korn Ferry Tour, maintaining a position in the top 30 throughout the season, ultimately earning him a PGA Tour membership.

Parker Coody will now return to compete in the Charles Schwab Challenge, scheduled from May 23 to 26 at the Colonial Country Club, a year after giving up his chance to be part of the tournament. Nonetheless, that decision ultimately worked in his favor as he secured a PGA Tour card and will be making his debut at the tournament this week.
Parker Coody has played in 13 PGA Tour events this season. He has performed fairly well in his rookie year, with one top-10 finish this season. He made the cut in eight tournaments and recorded three top-25 finishes.
Coody started the season playing at the Sony Open but struggled with his game and tied for 74th place. He next played at The American Express, where amateur golfer Nick Dunlap registered his victory. However, it was a tough start for Coody, and he failed to make the cut after playing rounds of 68, 68, and 69.
After struggling in the first two events of the season, the American golfer quickly bounced back with a T25 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open, followed by a T24 finish at the Mexico Open at Vidanta. His best finish of the season was recorded at the Corales Puntacana Championship, where he tied for sixth place. The 24-year-old last played at the Myrtle Beach Classic and settled for a tie for 36th place.
