New Jersey Golf will track Garden State competitors throughout the qualifying process, providing updates on their results, advancement and upcoming competition as they pursue opportunities at the professional level.
How PGA TOUR Q-School Works
PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry consists of four stages of qualifying competition, beginning with Pre-Qualifying in September and concluding with Final Stage in December.
Players advance based on their performance at each stage, with qualifying spots determined by the size of the field at each site. While some competitors begin at Pre-Qualifying, others receive exemptions into later stages based on their previous accomplishments and playing status.
The ultimate prize awaits at Final Stage, where the top five finishers earn PGA TOUR membership for the 2027 season. Additional finishers earn status on the Korn Ferry Tour, while select performances at earlier stages can secure membership on PGA TOUR Americas or the Korn Ferry Tour.
2026 Q-School Schedule
Pre-Qualifying - September 16 - October 2
First Stage - October 20 - Nov. 6
Second Stage - Dec. 1 - 4
