A.J. Ewart closed with a steady final-round 66 to claim medalist honors at the 2025 PGA TOUR Q-School Final Stage presented by Korn Ferry, finishing at 14-under par and leading a group of five players who earned PGA TOUR membership for the 2026 season.
Contested across TPC Sawgrass’ Dye’s Valley Course and Sawgrass Country Club, Final Stage once again delivered the ultimate test of consistency and composure. Over four rounds, a field of 176 players battled not just for position — but for careers.
🏆 Final Stage Results: Five PGA TOUR Cards Earned
The top five finishers earned full PGA TOUR status for 2026, with no ties permitted under the revised Q-School structure. This year’s qualifiers represent a mix of proven professionals and players breaking through at the highest level.
- A.J. Ewart (Canada) — -14 (66-67-67-66)
- Adam Svensson — -12 (T2)
- Alejandro Tosti — -12 (T2)
- Marcelo Rozo — -12 (T2)
- Dylan Wu — -11 (T5)
Ewart separated himself late, while the final positions tightened behind him as multiple players pushed for the final card heading into Sunday.
⛳ How It Played Out at Sawgrass
The four-round championship used a two-course rotation, with players competing twice at each venue. There was no cut, and re-pairings after 36 holes split the field between the two layouts for the final two rounds.
The finishing stretch at Dye’s Valley Course once again proved decisive, demanding precision off the tee and disciplined iron play. With only five cards available — down from previous years — the pressure intensified as Sunday unfolded.
📈 What Happens Next for the Field
While only five players earned PGA TOUR cards, Final Stage carried significant implications throughout the leaderboard:
- Top 5: PGA TOUR membership for the 2026 season
- Next 40 finishers and ties: Korn Ferry Tour membership for 2026
- All remaining finishers: Conditional Korn Ferry Tour status and PGA TOUR Americas eligibility
In addition, First Stage and Second Stage medalists entered Final Stage with performance benefits already secured, reinforcing the importance of strong play throughout the Q-School pipeline.
📜 Q-School Legacy Continues
With his victory, A.J. Ewart joins a storied list of Q-School medalists who used this week as a launch point — a group that historically includes future major champions and long-time TOUR mainstays.
Once again, Q-School proved to be golf’s purest meritocracy: four rounds, two courses, no safety net.
