Second Stage is complete and Final Stage awaits at Sawgrass — follow every Q-School leaderboard and the players still chasing

Updated December 5, 2025

Welcome to AmateurGolf.com's complete coverage of the 2025 PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry — the multi-stage proving ground where professional dreams are made and golf’s next stars earn their shot at the PGA TOUR.

This guide features the full schedule, results, course information, and advancing players from every stage — from early qualifying to the Final Stage in Florida. Follow along as top amateurs and seasoned pros battle for PGA TOUR cards and Korn Ferry Tour status.


🏆 What’s at Stake: PGA TOUR Cards on the Line

The top five finishers (and ties) at the Final Stage of Q-School will earn direct PGA TOUR membership for 2026. Players finishing outside that mark still secure valuable Korn Ferry Tour or PGA TOUR Americas status, giving them a path to climb golf’s professional ranks.

Each round of Q-School is filled with pressure, passion, and career-defining moments — the truest test of skill, composure, and perseverance in competitive golf.
