Every golfer's goal when they start the PGA Tour's Q-School is to make the final stage and to give themselves a shot at earning their PGA Tour card.
Now, the stage is officially set.
Only two sites remained in the second stage of Q-School, and 32 new golfers have punched their tickets to the final stage.
