Trace Crowe's journey to securing his 2024 PGA Tour card was not without its twists and turns, showcasing the resilience and determination that define his burgeoning career in professional golf.

The Auburn University alum found himself on the brink of PGA Tour qualification at this year's Korn Ferry Tour Championship, only to face a setback with weekend rounds of 76-74, which saw him fall just outside the top 30 on the season-long points list.

Reflecting on the disappointment, Trace Crowe acknowledged that he had perhaps let his emotions get the best of him, getting ahead of himself in the pursuit of his PGA Tour card.

Learning from this experience, he entered Q-School presented by Korn Ferry with a renewed focus and a determination not to miss out on his dream opportunity again, stating, “Let’s not miss out twice.”

The final round at Dye’s Valley became a testament to Crowe's growth and resilience. Displaying a newfound composure, he crafted a bogey-free front nine and capitalized on four birdies on the back nine, finishing at an impressive 11-under and securing a tie for second. Remarkably, he was one of only four players to card four rounds in the 60s, underscoring his consistency and ability to perform under pressure.

What makes Crowe's achievement even more remarkable is the fact that he entered the 2023 season with only conditional Korn Ferry Tour status. A stroke of good fortune presented itself when fog delayed the start of the HomeTown Lenders Championship in April, leading to Chris Baker's withdrawal and Crowe stepping in.

Seizing the opportunity, Trace Crowe finished 11th that week, earning extra starts and igniting a successful season that culminated in his victory at the NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank three months later.
