Mazzoli accepts PGA Tour membership

Stefano Mazzoli officially accepted his PGA Tour membership on Wednesday, one day before he was set ​to compete in the 3M Open in ‌Blaine, Minn.

Mazzoli was added to the field at TPC Twin Cities on Monday after winning the Corales Puntacana ​Championship in just his third start on ​the PGA Tour. The 29-year-old Italian drained a ⁠24-foot birdie putt on the final hole ​Sunday to win by one stroke in Punta ​Cana, Dominican Republic.

Since he was not a member of the PGA Tour at the time of his victory, he received ​a one-year exemption on the Tour. He ​also is eligible to compete in the 2027 Players Championship ‌and ⁠2027 PGA Championship.

A rookie on the DP World Tour, Mazzoli earned his promotion from the HotelPlanner Tour just last year.

"It's been a rollercoaster, this past ​year," Mazzoli ​said after ⁠his maiden PGA Tour victory.

South Africa's Casey Jarvis also accepted Special Temporary ​Membership on the PGA Tour and is ​eligible ⁠for unlimited sponsor exemptions for the remainder of the season. Jarvis, 22, has two wins on the ⁠DP ​World Tour this season and ​reached the threshold for the Special Temporary Membership with his ​tie for sixth at The Open Championship.
