Matt McCarty was named the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year on Wednesday.

McCarty, 26, was the unanimous choice by members of the tour for the Jack Nicklaus Award, the PGA Tour announced.

McCarty was No. 1 on the tour’s points list after three wins and nine top-10s during the season. His three victories all came within a 35-day span from July to August. That made him the 13th KFT player to earn the Three Victory Promotion to the PGA Tour.

After his immediate promotion to the Tour this fall, McCarty won in his second start at the 2024 Black Desert Championship.

On the Korn Ferry Tour in 2024, he had a scoring average of 68.38, setting a record. His finish at the top of the KFT points race earned him fully exempt status on the PGA Tour in 2025. He’s also in the field at the 2025 U.S. Open and the 2025 Players Championship.
