Q-School is back—where dreams meet pressure and PGA TOUR cards are on the line. Here’s your guide to 2025 PGA TOUR Q-School
For aspiring pros and keen amateur golf fans, few events stir the pot of dreams and high-stakes drama like the PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry. This multi-stage gauntlet is where careers are forged, and the ultimate prize—a direct shot at the PGA TOUR—is on the line.
For the third straight year, a golden ticket awaits, making this year's Q-School a must-follow event.
The stakes couldn't be higher. At the conclusion of the rigorous four-stage process, PGA TOUR cards will be awarded to the best players who survive the final test.
The top five finishers (and anyone tied for fifth place) at the Final Stage will earn direct PGA TOUR membership. This is a life-changing opportunity, instantly launching a player into the highest level of professional golf.
Even if a player misses out on a PGA TOUR card, successfully navigating Q-School secures status on the Korn Ferry Tour and/or PGA TOUR Americas, offering crucial pathways to continue chasing the dream.
The journey to the PGA TOUR is a four-tiered competition, starting in the early fall and culminating just before the holidays.
The first hurdle is already cleared! A series of pre-qualifying tournaments narrowed the initial field, with players earning spots in the First Stage.
