Since the first PGA Tour University class graduated in 2021, eight teams have had a class of three seniors earn benefits, and Oklahoma State has the chance to be the first class with four PGA Tour University graduates.

In the first six years of PGA Tour University, 130 players from 53 schools have earned performance benefits, and 40 alumni have combined for 67 professional victories. Nine PGA Tour University alumni qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs this season, with four alumni (Chris Gotterup, Ludvig Åberg, Jacob Bridgeman, Alex Fitzpatrick) advancing to the TOUR Championship.
