The 26-year-old, who won on the PGA Tour’s secondary circuit earlier this year at the Huntsville Championship, shifted to an American base in Arizona a number of years ago to play full time on the PGA Tour Latino-America before earning his place on the Korn Ferry Tour.
With his father Brian on site at the regular season ending Pinnacle Bank Championship, Endycott closed with a 73 to share 55th and guarantee his playing rights on the game’s biggest stage.
“It’s incredible. This was an amazing tournament with an amazing atmosphere. To have my dad and girlfriend here this week on a tough golf course, it was great,” Endycott said. “To be Tour bound is an incredible feeling. We’ll be having some champagne to celebrate. It feels incredible and I have so many people who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much for me.”

A product of Avondale Golf Club in Sydney’s north, Endycott still uses the club’s head professional Ben Patterson and his father and predecessor Mark as his coaches. The club playing an important role in the central coast raised Endycott’s development.
More Aussies will have the chance to join the New South Welshman on the PGA Tour via the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, including Anthony Quayle who regained a spot after Bubba Watson resigned his PGA Tour membership in the wake of signing with LIV Golf.
There will be another 25 cards on offer at the three event finals, and Quayle was bumped from the list following Joohyung Kim’s win at the Wyndham Championship which forced a reshuffle on the FedExCup points list that moved him outside a guaranteed start.
With Watson now gone from the list, Quayle is back in and the Queenslander withdrew from the International Series Singapore to head Stateside.
