Blades Brown could play eight consecutive tournament rounds across the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour, using a private jet offer to travel between events.

Players who placed inside the top 50 at last year’s Myrtle Beach Classic received a five-hour flight card from ONEflight, the private jet charter company that serves as the event’s title sponsor. 

Blades Brown tied for 37th in Myrtle Beach, and he plans to use the benefit if he makes the cut at this week’s Korn Ferry Tour stop in the Bahamas.

If Brown reaches Wednesday’s final round of the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, he’ll then take a private flight nearly 3,000 miles to Palm Springs, where he has a sponsor invite into the field for The American Express. 

That could set Brown up to play eight straight days of competitive rounds across the Korn Ferry and PGA Tours if everything falls into place.

But how did Brown get this opportunity? 

How Blades Brown secured his Korn Ferry Tour card 

Blades Brown gained access to professional events through his amateur results, which helped him secure sponsor exemptions. 

From there, the possibility of playing eight straight days was tied to how his schedule could align across consecutive tournaments, along with his push to earn Special Temporary Membership on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Pursuing Special Temporary Membership became a key step in his plan.

In April 2025, Brown withdrew from THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson to prioritize a Korn Ferry Tour start, giving himself a better chance to earn the points needed for that status. 

Can you remember a player pulling off something like this?
