Open qualifying is one of the most direct ways for elite amateurs and aspiring pros to earn a start in TOUR events. Below is the current 2026 schedule for PGA TOUR and Korn Ferry Tour Monday qualifiers, including spots available and the local contact for entry.
How open qualifying works
- Most events use a pre-qualifier, then a Monday (or mid-week) final qualifier for the listed spots.
- Deadlines, fees, and eligibility are set by the host PGA Section or national federation.
- If you’re an amateur, confirm handicap/entry requirements with the contact listed for each event.
