Korn Ferry Tour announces new Compliance Solutions Championship at Jimmie Austin Golf Club in Oklahoma

The Korn Ferry Tour is heading to Norman, Oklahoma.

Compliance Solutions and the Korn Ferry Tour announced Wednesday a new five-year partnership to host a professional golf tournament, the Compliance Solutions Championship, beginning in June 2023. The inaugural event will be played June 22-25, 2023, at the Jimmie Austin Golf Club in Norman, Oklahoma. Jimmie Austin is the home of the University of Oklahoma’s men’s and women’s golf teams.

“We are thrilled to partner with Compliance Solutions to bring Korn Ferry Tour golf to The Sooner State,” said Korn Ferry Tour president Alex Baldwin. “Oklahoma is home to incredibly passionate golf fans, and this is a market we’ve been targeting for some time. Our membership is excited about the opportunity to compete at the Jimmie Austin Golf Club at The University of Oklahoma.”

The Compliance Solutions Championship will be a 72-hole tournament featuring 156 players.

The course has previously hosted the 2009 U.S. Amateur Public Links, the 2013 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links, and NCAA regionals in 2012, 2018, 2022 (men’s) and 2013, 2019 (women’s) and is already scheduled to host NCAA regionals in 2023 and 2025.

Max McGreevy, a PGA Tour pro who earned his card on the Korn Ferry Tour, said he and others associated with the OU golf program are excited because this is something they’ve wanted for a long time.

“I’ve talked to some of the grounds crew, and they’re super thrilled,” McGreevy, an Oklahoma native and former OU golfer, said. “It’s a golf state; I think you saw that at Southern Hills a little bit, and I think you’ll see it at Jimmie Austin, as well.

“It’s tricky, but you can get after it if you get it going.”
